Toe Tag
Monologues Live
Toe Tag Monologues Live, written by retired Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Officer and Founder, R. Byron Stringer, are based on real life and death situations our youth face daily. Stringer took stories of events from the streets and put pen to paper to create Toe Tag Monologues which address the multi-faceted challenges of drug abuse, bullying, drinking and driving, teen suicide, human trafficking, gang violence, school violence and shootings, domestic violence, self-harm and low self-esteem. These powerful monologues present realistic scenarios often resulting in a toe tag and body bag, and youth are encouraged to engage in open discussions. These discussions require the program participants to use their critical thinking skills to identify and remove any challenges preventing them from for making positive life choices. The team is teaching our youth that every choice has a consequence, and some consequences have to be dealt with for an entire lifetime.
