More About Health World
Dedicated to providing young people with the tools they need to build healthy, safe lives, Health World works directly with schools/districts to provide a framework that allows young people to reflect, discuss and share their feelings and experiences along opportunity to access resources.
Programs presented by Health World encourage young people to stop, look, listen and THINK before they act. Whether addressing safe teen driving, bullying or suicide, Health World’s programs are proactive.
William Mastrosimone illustrated in the play “Bang, Bang You’re Dead,” that life is not a video game. You can’t simply hit the rest button and start over. Health World’s programs weave that poignant statement into programming to encourage teens to understand that their choices have consequences, sometimes life changing, sometimes life ending.
Health World believes that by providing these young people with the right resources we can cultivate a healthy, safety conscious generation. More than 3.5 million students have participated in Health World programs, which have been considered by many as the “best practice” for presenting health and safety education. We appreciate the opportunity to work with William Mastrosimone and IcarusPlays, and will continue to assist in getting his important messages out to the schools.

Did you know?
Observe the stage. Up there you see the set designer’s work. You see the lighting designer’s labor. You see the costumer’s sartorial efforts. You see the actor in body and spirit. You see the director’s toil. All parties are represented. But where is the playwright? The playwright is on stage only when the actor speaks his/her words as written.
Would you play the play in one shoe? Would you enter with only the top of your costume and not the rest? Would you play a scene in the dark if some of the lights burned out? Would you make an entrance if some of the set were falling down? None of that would be acceptable. Why would it be acceptable to speak only some of the playwright’s lines? Don’t cut me out of my play. Failing to say my lines as written paints a moustache on my “Mona Lisa.” That makes you a vandal in my eyes.
