A MEASURE OF CRUELTY Opens at Mosaic Theatre’s STOP! THE VIOLENCE VIDEO CONTEST, 4/19

Mosaic Theatre's STOP! THE VIOLENCE VIDEO CONTEST

In association with the World Premiere of

A Measure of Cruelty

by Joe Calarco

Made Possible by Funding Arts Broward/Knight New Work Award

Mosaic Theatre produces its first world premiere play as the theater has commissioned famed playwright Joe Calarco.

A Measure of Cruelty (April 19-May 13) is inspired by actual events of 2009 where a 15 year old boy was doused with rubbing alcohol and set on fire by four teenagers, a tragic event that impacted South Florida's local community and touched a nerve in our nation's conscience.

A Measure of Cruelty will address the ongoing problems of teen violence and bullying which continue to make national headlines. Mosaic's STOP! THE VIOLENCE Video Contest encourages students to stand up and express their feelings about the increasing problem of bullying.

Mosaic is seeking creative and innovative videos (2 to 5 minutes in length) from students that best communicate themes and issues associated with anti-bullying. Videos can be in ANY style including but not limited to: monologue, scene, song, illustration, animation, collage, and dance.

This video contest is open to any student in grades 9 – 12 and students may submit videos between 9:00 AM EST January 23, 2012 and 9:00 AM EST April 2, 2012. Each student may submit one video and must have teacher approval.

Celebrity judges will select three finalists who will receive great prizes and the audiences who attend A Measure of Cruelty will vote for the top prize. Final results will be announced Monday, May 21, 2012. All videos must be the original work of the student and not infringe on the rights of a third party. Any video submitTed May be used or reproduced by Mosaic Theatre without further consent.
