Synopsis
Alexis Wittenberg has it all. She is a straight A student, a proud prefect, rich, girlfriend to the school jock and a star among her school friends. The only problem is that she is also a bully. Pretty, popular, and well-adjusted, Alexis finds that her life turns upside down when a familiar face becomes the new girl at their school. We soon find that Alexis hides and suffers from a great depression beneath a mask she creates to conceal her true personality. She buries her deepest sorrows and feels helplessness and loneliness. Adding to the burden, she is endlessly haunted by her inner demons, voices in her head that mock and ridicule her everyday. Alexis is forced to relive her painful childhood memories all over again when she realizes that the new girl was the girl who bullied her in elementary school. Alexis is infuriated and seeks to take revenge on the girl who destroyed her childhood life. But when a prank goes too far, Alexis feels she is losing everything and sets on a path of self-destruction. She is brought to the point where she would do anything to eliminate her opponent from her life, including suicide. Finally her two friends and teacher rescue her from herself and explain that the new girl was not the person who bullied her in the past. Alexis feels great remorse and sadness but soon learns to open up to her friends and teacher. The help which she greatly needed was always just right in front of her, she only needed to ask for it.
Theme
Recent occurrences of bullying have been given increasing amounts of attention due to the surprising and sometimes violent results. However, bullying is not only limited to male students. Research has shown that girl bullies are in fact increasing. Girls are just as aggressive as boys, but they act out in much more subtle ways. In our culture, girls are taught to be nice, which means not being in conflict, and being everyone's friend. This need to please leads to the more under-handed forms of aggression, because girls know they don't have to take responsibility for their actions.But the more friends girls have, and the more they try to keep those friendships trouble-free, the more aggression builds up under the surface.The effect of this "hidden aggression" is devastating to millions of girls, but is often invisible to parents. Many girls intentionally perpetrate acts of aggression that go unseen by parents and teachers.

Born to Run - 2007
About
Brie : Is anything actually real? I mean completely, unconditionally, no substitutes, just…real? Life…love… hope? Or is it just a game we play in our heads to keep us sane? To keep us from realizing reality. Or maybe we’re all just crazy. [Pause] Brie looks to the audience.
Brie : It’s funny how you meet people in this life, connect with them for like a split second, and then never see them again. Sometimes you wonder if they ever existed. They’re probably better off without me, though. Most people are.
.......
Dr. Wilkins : 1 in 100 people will develop schizophrenia in their lifetime. It’s a chronic, severe, and disabling brain disorder. They may hear voices other people don't hear or they may believe that others are reading their minds, controlling their thoughts, or plotting to harm them. They may not make sense when they talk, may sit for hours without moving or talking much, or may seem perfectly fine until they talk about what they are really thinking. Because many people with schizophrenia have difficulty holding a job or caring for themselves, the burden on their families and society is significant as well. Like many other illnesses, schizophrenia is believed to result from a combination of environmental and genetic factors. [Paused as he looks at Brie] Let’s leave her now and check on the others.
In year 2007, our drama team presented a play that brought the audience to Brie's life and how she is suffering from schizophrenia, a disease that not many are aware of, at least not from this part of the world. Anyone with this kind of disease will normally misinterpret as 'crazy' and many of their family just give up on them. Here, we will be introduced to schizophrenia and go beyond to Brie’s world and how she views everything around her.
Synopsis
The story follows a 17 year old Brie, who grew up in a wealthy family. When she was 13, her mother died of cocaine overdose and her father sent her to a boarding school. There, she ends up attacking her own roommate. Her father and principal decide that it is best that she is sent to a mental institution. On hearing this, Brie refuses to go. But nevertheless, she is forced to. During her stay, she meets Sarah, a reckless mental patient, whom she runs away with from the hospital. Along the way, they meet Trey, an illegal drug dealer. Brie is lured towards drugs, just as her mother did. The three become friends and soon jealousy between Brie and Sarah to win Trey over grow intense. They end up fighting for him. Brie is knocked out in the process. She wakes up only to find herself back in the institute. She discovers that Sarah and Trey are mere hallucination. Finally, she diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Theme
Schizophrenia is a biologically based brain disease that seriously impairs a person’s ability to think clearly and relate to others. Someone with schizophrenia has difficulty between what is real and what is imaginary, and is often unresponsive and withdrawn. Although there is no known cause or cure, a majority of people with schizophrenia can lead a more ‘normal’ life with appropriate medication, therapy and support. Schizophrenia is often far from what people think it is. Unfortunately, the individuals with schizophrenia are the ones who suffer not only from this devastating disease, but just as much from the stigma that results from public misconception.
