Skyline High School's drama class helps students find a new piece of themselves. "I like that I get to be somebody else. I like being myself, but I get to step out into a whole other character and feel their struggles," Skyline High sophomore Kaliyah Scott said.
Sometimes those real-life struggles are suffered in silence. That's the subject of prospect high -- a play co-written with teens from New York.

They won the grand prize -- and have since performed prospect high all over the Bay Area.

"We need to raise $28,000 by June 12th," the students said.

It seemed an impossible goal. But, then they got a call from some old friends.
"The Warriors wanted to support our effort, and that they wanted to offer some items for auction," Skyline High Drama Director Awele Makeba said. Those items included tickets to the NBA finals and a basketball signed by the team.
