Illusion Theater’s Project TRUST

IlluminArt Productions is proud to be an accredited presenter of Illusion Theater’s education and prevention program* which is rooted in the recognition of theater’s potential as a compelling educational tool.

About Project TRUST:

An award-winning peer education program.
Students perform educational, prevention plays for the elementary, middle and high schools in their communities thereby becoming peer educators.
The selection of students as performers permits other students in the audience to identify with actors who serve as role models.
Children and youth have an opportunity to identify and rehearse responses to uncomfortable or exploitive situations.

Each presentation is followed by an audience discussion led by a trained group leader.

Discussion materials are provided for school staff prior to the program presentation.
