* Avoidance
* Non-aggressive confrontation
* Telling versus tattling
* Self confidence
* Why do people become bullies
* Humor in the face of adversity
Porkchop Productions has worked closely with several community and state organizations in North and South Carolina to obtain the most effective and comprehensive information to design a performance that will inspire, educate as well as entertain.
