Description

A conversation about growing up and fighting for what you believe in featuring two generations of young people from Peterborough.

Ella Cunningham and Eloise Harvey are two local teenagers who are members of the cast of Give 'Em Hell, a new play about the efforts waged by students to save PCVS during the school's final year. Collin Chepeka and Sara Farley are both PCVS alumni — they were students at the highschool during its last year and they participated in the protests.

Together, Ella, Eloise, Collin and Sara discuss growing up, finding a place to belong, and the role that activism can play in those processes.

Give 'Em Hell was written by Madeleine Brown. It runs from September 15 to 17 and September 21 to 23 at the former PCVS auditorium.
