Last year, with Windows on the Street, our streetpeace youth brought passion and power to the words of great peacemakers like Ghandi, Martin Luther King and Mother Theresa.  This year, with PLAYGROUND [R]EVOLUTION, streetpeace will challenge us to take a new look at playgrounds  and take a first look at the virtual worlds our kids inhabit.    The play exposes how our youth are influenced by games that exploit women and encourage violence.  Some of the language drawn from the games is disturbing.  Youth Center youth will intensify the conversation with a powerful art exhibit, with perspectives on these same themes.  This is the event everyone talks about… the one where the youth are the teachers and the adults realize they have a lot to learn.   Please join us. Thursday, May 12, 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. Sinclair Community College, Ponitz Center, Building 12.
