Love at Second Sight
Wednesday February 22
7:00 pm

In Love at Second Sight, lively middle schoolers are transformed by a performance that challenges and changes their perceptions about appearance and acceptance.

Facially different David Roche and his lovely wife Marlena Blavin share their stories with a spellbound middle-school audience. As they explore themes of self-acceptance (David finds his inner beauty) and accepting others (Marlena moves from revulsion to friendship), the students’ reactions move from discomfort and stunned silence to laughter, delight and engagement. From their faces and feedback, it is clear that their perceptions have quickly shifted as they are encouraged to take that vital second look.
