Exploring relationships: Mater Dei College

Lauren PedenWanneroo Times

One Brick Too Many is aimed at teenagers and their families and will show at ECU Joondalup on October 21.

It was created under the guidance of the Theatrical Response Group’s (TRG) Scott Corbett and supported by the Constable Care Child Safety Foundation and the City of Joondalup.

The students developed the content and title and have performed it for Year 7 and 8 students and their own families at the college.

It examines healthy and unhealthy relationships and encourages the audience to explore choices that can be made in different situations and their consequences.
