High school students face all kinds of pressure; getting into the right college, the next Bio test, Mom and Dad, pressure from friends.  The young person who is in recovery from alcohol or drug abuse has those and so much more to deal with.  How do they do it?  This production explores what it is like for youth in recovery including Native American Youth in Arizona.

•  How high school youth speak to their peers about the life of a teenager in recovery from  drug or alcohol abuse.
•  How to increase peer sensitivity to others who are suffering from a drug or alcohol dependency.
•  How Native American Indian Youth face drug and alcohol use issues both on and off the reservations.
•  How at-risk students will become more aware of resources they have to help themselves.
•  How drinking effects behavior and academic success in today’s schools.
