I Am Jack the play at the Monkey Baa Theatre

Eleven-year-old Jack's life is good. He takes great photographs, he can beat his buddies at handball, and he enjoys the time he spends with his family. But when big George Hamel starts calling Jack "Butt Head," school starts becoming a little less good. And when every-one starts calling him "Butt Head," it gets outright dangerous. Jack knows he should talk to someone about what's going on, but he's worried about retaliation, and his single mom is busy enough as it is. Lucky for Jack he has one friend to stand by him, and then a teacher and his family, too. It isn't long before Jack is himself again to his classmates. Susanne Gervay's heartening story sheds light on the contagious nature of school bullying, and how it sometimes takes a community working together to fight it.
