‘Butterfly Effect’ – what a great show | Letter

I would like to thank the Orcas Center and everyone involved for the opportunity to attend the “Butterfly Effect.” Orcas Center graciously reserved a number of tickets to allow a group of teens from the Funhouse Commons to attend.

I would like to thank director Jake Perrine and the production’s entire cast for putting together a great performance that tackled and educated us on the epidemic of bullying, mistreatment and misunderstanding of the gay community.

What made the performance powerful was that the stories were from local people. All of the actors were passionate about portraying their given roles and used them to speak to our community.

The teens from the Funhouse left the play both moved and educated about the epidemic of bullying in general. Several of the students in attendance said afterwards that the play has motivated them to get involved in the community in the fight against bullying.
