Watch some of the young performers in WITNESS tell their story about "Witness the Change".

Tell us your story

By the First Stage Children's Theater WITNESS task force

Have you had a moment in your life when you witnessed something that you wanted to change, and found yourself no longer wanting to just bear witness to what was happening, but took a risk and stepped in to make the change? How did you feel? Why did you decide to take a risk and make change happen? How was the situation resolved? What did you learn from your experience?

For example, you witnessed the new kid at school sitting alone at lunch, felt it wasn’t right that she wasn’t being included by anyone else, and asked her to sit with you and your friends. You may have worried your other friends wouldn’t have wanted to include the new student, but took a chance anyways. You felt good to make someone’s day, and possibly made a new friend.

Leave a comment* below and describe a situation that you wanted to change for a chance to win great prizes like season tickets for the 2009-2010 season, fun gift certificates and more!

*Thank you to everyone that participated in the contest - congratulations to our winner Katie O.
