First Day Back premieres at The Storefront Theatre, June 9-27

I’m so proud to announce that my latest show, FIRST DAY BACK, will be making its official premiere this June at The Storefront Theatre in Toronto!

FIRST DAY BACK is Rob Salerno’s searing and heartfelt one-man show about high school, bullying, suicide, and compassion. Previously workshopped at the Victoria and Vancouver Fringe Festivals and at the One More Night Festival, Ten Foot Pole Theatre is extremely excited to premiere this powerful and relevant show in Toronto, under the direction of award-winning playwright and actor Steven Gallagher.

In FIRST DAY BACK, you enter a school the day after a gay ninth grader, Ollie, killed himself following years of bullying and abuse. There’s an eerie hush in the halls as Ollie’s friends and tormenters gather to figure out who’s responsible. As you take your seats in the art room, be prepared to have your prejudices about school, homophobia, bullies, and teenagers shaken to their core.
