The theatre has traveled across New England and throughout the country performing for elementary, middle and high schools, colleges and universities, correctional facilities and other community organizations. With the use of humor and drama, we address difficult issues by creating a comfortable learning environment for our audiences. Improvisational theatre techniques allow for interaction between the actors and the audience which is the key to the effectiveness of the program.

The actors set up commonplace scenarios that the audience might encounter and together they work toward possible solutions. All shows are age-appropriate and designed to tackle the problems and specific needs confronting each group.

Their shows have presentations on the following topics:   

Stop AIDS Mobile Theatre - Drugs & Alcohol - Bullying - Alternatives to Violence - Respect - Many More!!!

!MPACT SEMINAR

What is !MPACT?

On Tuesday, April 28, 2009 – Cheney Technical High School welcomed back the Mourning Parents Act Inc., also known as !MPACT. 

Who are the members of !MPACT?
!MPACT was founded by the families of Dan, Ryan, and Joey... three teens who were killed in separate car crashes within an eleven-day period and a 25 mile radius of one another in December of 2002. 
Members of !MPACT have either lost young family members or friends in automobile accidents. They volunteer their personal time and resources to advance the mission of the organization.

What does !MPACT do?
!MPACT has developed a teen driver safety program in which members share their experiences in a powerfully emotional presentation that not only has an immediate effect on students, but makes a lasting impression on them.  Feedback from attendees indicates that this program effectively reduces risky driving/riding behavior in teens. 

!MPACT has also developed a program for parents, educators and law enforcement officials; and is working with legislators to advance legislation that will protect teen drivers, their passengers and the people who share the roads

Day Of Silence

Last updated 2 years, 8 months ago. Created on May 19, 2009.

On Wednesday, April 22, 2009 - Howell Cheney Technical High School’s Gay/Straight Alliance sponsored their first “Day of Silence”.

The Day Of Silence, is meant to bring to the forefront the oppression of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender people.Those who participated wore a sticker on them.  These students showed their support throughout the whole school day, in honor of all the victims of violent actions, harassment, and bullying due to their sexual orientation and gender expression, by being SILENT!  Our hope and goal was to have as many students and staff participate and be supportive of this great endeavor.  We had about 54 students that participated. Also, the GSA made rainbow ribbons for staff members that wanted to show their support, by wearing the ribbon all day long.  We had a large number of staff members that participated and all were very supportive.     If you would like more information on the “Day of Silence” there is a web site - www.dayofsilence.org  - for more information and history about this day.
