Wellesley Middle School Players present the premiere of Cyber-Mare this Thursday and Friday at WMS, tackling onstage tough issues concerning the dangers of cyberspace. The pitch: “From the comfort of their own homes, students open the door to hidden dangers every time they enter a chat room, post a photo online or even send an email. Working in conjunction with the Bullying Prevention Project, this talented group of middle school actors will use a series of true-to-life vignettes to explore various scenarios that can lead to trouble on the internet. Whether it‘s a cyber-bully assuming a victim‘s identity through their email address, someone mass-forwarding an embarrassing picture or a stalker posing as a peer, each vignette is a wake-up call that will give everyone something to think about next time they log on or send a text message.“
