Showdown provides:
Community arts enrichment and outreach: Public performances of plays and other art
forms at community theaters, as well as children's hospitals, senior centers and other places of
need.
A means for bringing families together again: "Thank you for giving me my daughter back"
(Katherine, mother); "I've been leaving my parents out of my life. I'm gonna start talking to them
again." (Lauren, 15)
A vital opportunity to build a better community by enriching the lives of our youth. By
involving them in positive self-expression and helping them realize their importance, Showdown
teaches teens how to become more productive members of society.
A way to deal with today's issues head-on. After Columbine and Virginia Tech, a shattered
nation asked "how could this happen? What can we do to keep it from happening again?"
Showdown doesn't claim to have all the answers, but we provide a safe and empowering place
to ask the questions. Showdown students look at today's issues and try to find answers.

full of ups & downs, thrills, terror and laughter. But for an increasing number of teens,
it's all downhill.

than adults to be victims of violence. *
