MYOthello

MYOthello is a project of MYO. MYO is Mine, Yours, Ours, an initiative of RYASAP and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s STARTSTRONG National Initiative for building healthy teen relationships.

MYO uses popular media to provoke discussions of messaging surrounding teen relationships. Earlier this year, they held the "MYOscars," an event where teens rated clips of movies according to the MYO Rated R system - the R in this case stands for Responsibility, Respect, Right, and Real. This summer, the project is MYOthello, a performance of Othello in which the themes of mistrust, deception, and relationship violence occur.

 I am the Team Leader of the Production Crew, and have had the challenge of designing and creating a set for the play while managing an amazing team of young adults.

The performances are happening at St. Ann's School in Black Rock August 25th, 26th, and 27th. Perhaps I'll see you there!
