Tonight through Saturday, the Boys’ Latin of Philadelphia Charter school will be performing its original show, “PHLash: A Mob Story.” Described as a Greek chorus-style performance, the play will feature words from those affected by flash mobs – from victims to police officers, Occupiers and fellow children.

An article on Philly.com described how the students of Boys’ Latin view any involvement with flash mobs with disdain.

“You must be really bored if you want to attack random people, especially at this age,” said Myles Hinsey, 15, said to Philly.com reporter Molly Eichel. “Do your homework. Play a video game. Do something.”

According to Boys’ Latin’s Theatre Department website, “PHLash: A Mob Story” presents various points-of-view surrounding the flash mob phenomenon, and discusses the “power of people to enlighten, entertain and terrorize through assembly.”

Tickets are $5 in advance and $7 at the door for students.
