TEENS 13-17
Bang Boy, Bang!
By Ed Roy
ABOUT
​
One actor on stage performs the story of Rod Clark, a seemingly normal 16 year-old. One night, Rod gets wasted at a party and assaults a girl. A girl he likes. The morning after, Rod locks the door to his room. Afraid to talk about what happened, he re-lives the nightmare that is his life.
​
Premiered in 1995, this production is now known as a Youtheatre signature piece. More than 20 years later, the issues explored in this work are relevant to its audience.
Press
“Bang Boy, Bang! is not preachy, nor does it offer clear-cut resolutions to Rod’s predicament. See it. Talk about it.”
“Bang Boy, Bang makes a lot of noise on the subject and all of it worth listening to for teens.”
“It’s a rare occasion when a play lives up to its promotional material”
