Horizon Line Compassion Play Shows Adolescents the Importance of Cultural Understanding
Live Performance Wraps Up Season of Diversity Program
The City of Santa Clarita is presenting the final live performance for A Season of Diversity, bringing the 2008-2009 program near to its close. Horizon Line, which will be performed Tuesday, January 27 at 6:30 p.m. at the Valencia High School Auditorium, is a play that explores the seeds of prejudice and teaches young people and adults alike the importance of compassion and understanding.
Horizon Line is one of three Compassion Plays designed by the ENCOMPASS theater program to help students talk about diversity topics in a safe and supportive way. The Compassion Plays are meant to inspire compassion and personal responsibility, as well as an appreciation of differences among California teenagers.
"The Horizon Line Compassion Play is a great way to communicate the importance of understanding to young people," said Mayor Frank Ferry. "It really encompasses what Santa Clarita's A Season of Diversity is all about."
Santa Clarita's A Season of Diversity is a series of events and program designed to promote cultural understanding in our community. Its mission is to encourage, assist, and empower adolescents to eliminate all forms of discrimination and to promote understanding and appreciation of human differences. The program will culminate with the Essay and Poster Content Awards Ceremony in February.
The Valencia High School Auditorium is located at 27801 N. Dickason Drive. For more information on this informative, yet entertaining and inspiring event, please call the Santa Clarita Human Relations Forum at (661) 250-3708 or visit santa-clarita.com/humanrelationsforum.
