On February 23, the PAC was pleased to present Georgie Productions’ JABBER,   a play in which appearances, and judgments based on those appearances  were challenged. Some judgments arise out of images of the Middle East, some arise out of images of working class, teenage anglo boys. All are filtered through the particular cultural laboratory of our schools where, unlike almost anywhere, people of all histories and backgrounds are thrown together, and where young people of all kinds must learn about what they believe in, and how far they are willing to go to defend those beliefs.  A student audience of 150 and public audience of 30 attended the performances followed by thought provoking question and answer sessions.
