SYNOPSIS

Thank You for Flushing... uses scenes and monologues that range from the offbeat and wildly theatrical to quiet moments of heartbreak as it takes a look at one of the biggest problems facing teens today: bullying.

Achilles and Helen get picked on at school--a lot. Achilles has a regular date with a bully who flushes his head in the toilet, and Helen has become so afraid of the girls who ridicule her that she invents reasons to be late. So when cool girl Glinda appears and offers them a way out--she's their "bully buddy"--they jump at the chance. But Glinda's solution is to turn them into bullies. They both resist, and she sends them back to a school that is even worse than the one they left. Their only means of escape is to try it Glinda's way. But does saving themselves mean becoming the people who tormented them?

Prometheus practices being bullied in the A3 production.
