TAKE

The TAKE Program, now in its 20th year in production, is a remarkable journey that has impacted and changed the lives of many. This program is designed to open up students' eyes to the issues one might face in college. Understandably, the transition into college is a big one! It is through the TAKE performance that we explore these issues head on by giving the students a tangible reality to stories and circumstances that have affected other CSUN students in the past. Issues regarding relationships, body abuse, prejudice, homophobia, rape and other transitional occurrences will all be addressed during this portion of the Orientation day!

This program, however, is only as successful as the students and staff that put it together for incoming students. This year ten amazing individuals embarked on a journey in January with hopes to get their story out there for others to hear and learn from. They entered the program as strangers, and have since developed into a family. Through this journey, the cast of TAKE XX has not had the easiest of times. They have been challenged individually and as a group, and through this struggle they have developed dynamic performance that will truly leave you with a more ready for CSUN life!
