MACARONI AT MIDNIGHT

 

Macaroni at Midnight is an autobiographical presentation about a Native American child growing up in a world of poverty, alcoholism, homelessness, isolation, juvenile delinquency, and child abuse.  A child of disability, who faces rejection from family, peers, teachers, social workers, and community people, he becomes a victim of abuse by father, school personnel and students, police, and community.  Until a white lady intervenes, when the child is an adolescent, his life becomes one of desperation and juvenile delinquency.  One person’s intervention becomes the change force causing the young teenager to overcome his disadvantages, become valedictorian of his high school, and go on to become a professional social worker, counselor, educator with juvenile delinquents and victims of abuse years later.
