The play, which looks at internet bullying and teenage depression and suicide, will be followed by a post-show discussion panel with psychologists, counsellors and professionals who work with young people.

The show was held in Ballarat in May by local performance company Mad Swan. Mad Swan has teamed up with local teenager Isabella Thomas for the Daylesford production.

College senior learning community manager Natalie Kirby said the school hoped to use Chatroom as a way to facilitate conversations around cyber bullying and teen suicide between teenagers, parents, principals, teachers and social workers.

Director Alexandra Meerbach said theatre was a powerful tool in helping people work through feelings, as it worked on both emotional and intellectual levels. She said Mad Swan had an aim to use theatre to make a difference in the community.

Tickets are $10 each, with the performance beginning at the college on July 27 at 7pm.
