“I Have this Friend” is our new musical that teaches how young love can turn into a deadly trap, how to recognize the early warning signs of an abusive relationship, and what to do to avoid them. The play can be performed by teens for teens at local high schools or by our professional actors.

After each performance, we measure results with an evaluation and a question/answer period. Read our Community Impact Case Study from Bowie High School.

Community Impact

“We could not imagine a more powerful tool to communicate our message than “Domestic Violence-The Musical?.” Each audience was visibly moved by the production. One of the most frequent responses we heard after the show was “Where else will it be performed? I have friends and family who need to see this show. We fully intend to bring it back to El Paso.”
