Saying Hello to Goodbye is a play written by Dr. James W. Lee, Ph.D, to recognize the real issue of youth suicide and to explore what we can do about it. It is reported that 800,000 people die by suicide each year. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports that suicide is the second leading cause of death for ages 10 to 18. Project Sunrise was created to save young lives. It focuses on children and adolescents, and specifically on youth suicide awareness and prevention.
Characters include: BRAD, JULIE, and MELISSA (high school students); RAMIREZ (a therapist, any age over 25 and non-gender specific); GAIL, BRUCE, BETTY, and LARRY (parents of teens)
Audition Dates: August 28th and 31st, and September 1st at 6p-8p at First United Methodist Church (200 S Ave C - Portales).
