<p align="left">Can a play change people’s attitudes about
difficult subjects such as race and alternative lifestyles?<br>
<br>
A California theater company thinks so, and they are bringing their
unique form of theater to Southwestern University and the Round Rock
Independent School District.<br>
<br>
The theater company, which is called Fringe Benefits, is using a grant
it has received to bring a Theatre for Social Justice Institute titled
“Race and High School Students” to Williamson County. <br>
<br>
The project will begin with a series of five workshops that will be
held evenings during the week of Sept. 12-19 at McNeil High School in
Round Rock. At these workshops, representatives from Fringe Benefits
will listen to students from Round Rock high schools describe real
discrimination problems at their school. They then will work with the
students to create a play based on the incidents described. <br>
<br>
