Participating Schools
More than 200 educational institutions — high schools, colleges, and universities — have produced the play in the U.S., including Puerto Rico, and also in Canada, England and Africa.
In the upcoming 2011-2012 season, participating schools include: American University (Washington, DC), Pope John Paul II Catholic High School (Huntsville, AL), Bishop Blanchet High School (Seattle, WA), Archbishop Hoban High School (Akron, OH), Analy High School (Sebastopol, CA), Mater Dei High School (Santa Ana, CA), Clarke University (Dubuque, IA), Beaumont School (Cleveland Heights, OH), Christian Brothers High School (Sacramento, CA), Pittsburg State University (Pittsburg, KS), Fulton Montgomery Community College (Johnstown, NY), Shawnee High School (Shawnee, OK),Choctaw High School (Choctaw, OK), and Saint Michael's College (Colchester, VT). This play was performed by the King's College Theatre Department under the direction of M. Sheileen Corbett in February 2008 as part of Tim Robbins experiment. The show's cast was mainly made up of students and faculty members as well as members of the community. Sister Helen Prejean came to speak at King's College just days before the show opened and spoke with the entire campus community about her experiences. She also addressed those who were to be performing in the play during her presentation and attended a dress rehearsal.

Famous quotes containing the word schools:
“In schools all over the world, little boys learn that their country is the greatest in the world, and the highest honor that could befall them would be to defend it heroically someday. The fact that empathy has traditionally been conditioned out of boys facilitates their obedience to leaders who order them to kill strangers.”
—Myriam Miedzian, U.S. author. Boys Will Be Boys, ch. 3 (1991)
