Slant of Light Theater Company

Because art transcends social and academic boundaries, builds in success, and enables our students to feel safe and empowered.

"All creativity comes out of inner spaciousness. Once the creation has happened and something has come into form, you have to be vigilant so that the notion of 'me' or 'mine' does not arise. If you take credit for what you accomplished, the ego has returned, and the spaciousness has become obscured." -Eckhart Tolle

M&Ms in Heaven

Educational Tour

Slant of Light's first original production has been reincarnated into a 45-minute short discussing the dangers of disordered eating and low self-esteem. This program is targeted for men and women grades 8 through college. The show tracks the progression of the original M&Ms production from its conception through opening night. Sprinkled through this progression is an assortment of monologues depicting the danger of the disordered eating phenomenon. The M&Ms company has undergone training to lead a talk-back after every performance between themselves and the students. During this time, the company will be able to directly engage the students as they share their own stories, encourage the students to speak and ask questions, as well as distribute important resource materials.
