HC Media taping of Drug Story Theater performance
Drug Story Theater’s Mission Statement: Drug Story Theater (DST) takes teens in the early stages of recovery from drugs and alcohol, teaches them improvisational theater, and helps them craft their own unique stories into a play about their seduction of, addiction to and recovery from drugs and alcohol. They then perform this play to middle, high school and college audiences so “the treatment of one becomes the prevention of many.” Incorporating brain science with slides in between scenes, DST teaches how young people get addicted and how the adolescent brain is neurologically wired for addiction.
Drug Story Theater is an innovative, evidence-based, peer-to-peer treatment and prevention program. Surveys show that after seeing a 40-minute play, the audience overwhelmingly believes marijuana is addictive, and that drugs and alcohol have an adverse effect on relationships and the ability to succeed in school. In the talk-back portion of a show, one of the main points Dr. Joseph Shrand (the creator of Drug Story Theater and a leading expert in adolescent addiction) addresses is how marijuana is a gateway drug to opioids. https://www.drugstorytheater.org
Sponsored by the City of Haverhill Mayor’s HOPE Task Force, Grade 9 students had the opportunity to see this performance in November after it was also presented to the Haverhill community in October. It’s back for 2025-2026 for Grade 8 Consentino students- date in November TBD.
