Youth Truth 2015

Enchanted Circle Theater and the Treehouse Foundation's HEROES Youth Leadership Project are proud to present Youth Truth, a live performance of original poetry, music, dance and visual art that explores youth driven themes about foster care and adoption. Come and witness the vision and creativity of the HEROES Youth Leaders and join the movement to Re-Envision Foster Care in the Pioneer Valley.

The goal of Youth Truth is to enlighten the world about the strengths and talents of kids affected by foster care and adoption and encourages everyone to confront their negative assumptions about child welfare.

What can/can't I bring to the event?

Youth Truth hopes to shine a light on the experience of foster care and adoption, as well as tackle many deeply held myths about kids and families. Our stories are inspiring and personal. Out of respect for all our cast members we ask that the audience does not take pictures or video. Media cleared photos will be available on our website and Facebook page.

Is there a snow date for the performance?

Winter in New England can be unpredictable. If for any reason the event needs to be rescheduled our snow date is Saturday March 14th. The event organizer will contact you with as much notice as possible if we do need to use the snow date. Please mark both off on your calendar!
