PREVENTION THROUGH THE ARTS - SWALLOW THIS! swallow this

This program is run by the Center for Prevention & Outreach Health Education Office and the Department of Theatre Arts.

Students dramatically portray the real-life alcohol and other drug related experiences of USB students as a way of educating on the consequences of substance misuse, abuse & dependence. This is a 3-credit/semester class (THR 351 Fall + THR 352 Spring).

Students receive substance abuse education and theatrical training. They develop a new performance each year from student stories submitted anonymously, and perform weekly for a variety of student and staff audiences. A full-year commitment is required.
