Bullying Show Has Local Star, Needs Venue

Organizers Terry and Kim Davis want to bring their anti-bullying stage production to a venue in Douglas County. They're also looking for sponsors for the show.

“Don’t Be A Bully! Speak Up! Speak Out!” is a motivational and educational theatrical production that addresses the epidemic of bullying in schools and communities.

The show stars local talent 15-year-old Derrick Nealy, who lives in Douglasville, and plays the role of a bully. Nealy attends Lithia Springs High School and is in the 10th grade. 

Through this motivational production kids will be encouraged and motivated to "Speak Up and Speak Out! against Bullying!

"We've performed in front of smaller groups of around 200 and venues of about 2,500 kids," Terry Davis said, a director of the event. "Our goal is to perform in all of the communities throughout Georgia. We'd love to perform in all of Georgia's 159 counties."

During the program, youth will be educated on the different forms of Bullying, including:

• Physical
• Verbal
• Cyber
• Intimidation

"We hope to educate adults on their responses and provide a renewed sense of 
responsibility to our children."

“Don’t Be A Bully! Speak Up! Speak Out!” is performing at the  Thompson Community Center  at 11 a.m. on July 18 and the Atlanta-Fulton Public Library on July 25 at 11:30 a.m.
