Turning Trauma into Talent: The Journey to Empowerment in "The Academy"
Join us for an engaging and transformative stage play centered around our latest film, The Academy. This performance will dive into the powerful and symbolic storytelling of youth navigating the child welfare system while discovering that their perceived vulnerabilities are, in fact, their greatest strengths.
The Academy tells the story of Rosario, the head of a residential boarding school, who covertly seeks out young individuals displaying signs of unique abilities. Through careful mentorship, Rosario helps these youth understand that their trauma holds the key to their superhuman talents. Raven, Rosario’s protégé, embodies the doubts and struggles that many youths face in recognizing their worth and potential until pivotal moments unlock her true identity.
