“It is not easy to capture and hold the attention of young men, on a Friday afternoon, seated on hard bleachers in a gym! Defamation accomplished that! Everyone, from the youngest seventh grader to the faculty was riveted during the performance. It provoked a lot of thought and the questions asked by the students from lower school to high school were self-searching, reflective and thought provoking. The issues presented were new for some, but touched an emotional chord for others. The conversation continued long after the cast and crew departed and spilled over into classrooms. Thank you.”

“The artistically provocative production untwines the themes of race, class, gender and religion while demanding a response, both emotionally and intellectually, from the viewer. This is an experience that will etch a memory in the minds of the audience members.”
