PB&J tackles bullying and questions teenage stereotypes

If you are looking for a fun theatre show to spark discussion with your kids about identity, stereotypes and bullying this summer, this St-Ambroise FRINGE Festival production is the one for you!

Presented at the MainLine theatre this June, PB&J is a Québécois youth theatre adaptation of the cult classic, the Breakfast Club, in which Atwater Library's project facilitator, Anne-Marie St-Louis is dismantling the stock teenage characters of the original movie to show the societal underpinnings and inner realities of these teenage identities.

The show is 50 minutes, bilingual, and open to all families. The artists are eager to encounter a diverse audience at their show.

About the show
In this one-act play,  the four worst bullies of the school are stuck in detention together because a mortifying video was leaked, and one of them was the culprit. Can they, in the course of 1 day together in detention, confront their prejudices and not only become friends, but heroes? In the retelling of the movie the Breakfast Club, this play showcases fresh, funky, and funny new voices from emerging theatre creators that are committed to elevating art for youth.
