PMP is an intensive, seven-month, out-of-school activity that uses theatre as a catalyst to change the negative life patterns of at-risk youth and help them to develop positive self-images. Over the course of the program teens are enabled to create an original performance piece based on their own stories in a safe and confidential environment where they can express themselves, can develop conflict/resolution skills and together can create a supportive community.
Since 2000 PMP has served more than 250 youths from throughout Berkshire County. Every PMP participant has currently recieved or is working towards a high school diploma or GED. Many students have gone onto college or junior colleg, including one student who recieved a full tution scholarship to Brown University and three students that have matriculated at Williams College.
