A free Kaiser Permanente Educational Theatre program for high school students examines mental health and stigma and is followed by a question and answer session. Pictured from left to right are actors Eric Esquivel, Gisela Feied, Jamella Cross, and Matt Morishige.
Kaiser Permanente Northern California Educational Theatre debuted its new production, Ghosted, at Oakland High School on Monday, September 16. The show follows 4 students who reveal hard truths about their lives with a focus on mental wellness. The drama teaches students how to identify stress, anxiety, and depression, how to access resources for help, and defines healthy coping strategies to build resilience.

I wish I could watch this. The actors look really good!
I love the Educational Theatre program. Is it possible to have this program in the Terra Linda high school in Marin County.

Would love to have my teenagers see this. Berkeley High School.
Thanks much.
Hi

This is AWESOME!!! Does this show happen in the South Bay Area as well? There’s a lot of stress in the Silicon Valley with a lot of teen suicides due to heavy pressures of school and parents who are not home to help them learn to cope with daily life. I hope this talented group of actors/actress(es) do performances in the Santa Clara or South Bay Area.
Is there a schedule that we can view?
Thank you!

I have loved our Educational Theatre program for decades. I hope teenagers these days are receptive to these important messages.
Any chance of one of these performances being video taped and posted on internal website so staff can watch one?
