Sunrise Mall to host The 99 Reality Theater –
Graphic reenactments teach teens consequences of poor choices

(Citrus Heights, CA) – Sunrise Mall will host “The 99 Reality Theater” four consecutive weekends beginning Friday, April 25th.  The production, housed in a 20,000 sq. ft. tent, features 13 rooms each portraying real-life settings.  Guests will experience graphic reenactments of situations representing the leading causes of death in teenagers and young adults.  The goal of the travelling tour is to educate and create awareness of these mostly avoidable consequences.  It is the ultimate near death experience.

The 45-minute guided tour features Hollywood style sets and live actors; there are approximately 200 volunteers each event night.   The name of the tour represents the average number (99) of young people who die in the United States each year; 31 young people will die today from auto related accidents, 16 from domestic violence or homicide, 12 will commit suicide today, and the remaining will die from poor choices, diseases and natural causes (CDC Data).

The 99 will be open to the public on Friday, April 25 and will run for four consecutive weekends- Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM (April 25th, 26th, 27th, May 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 16th, 17th, 18th).  Due to the somewhat graphic nature of the settings, entrance is restricted to those 12 and older.  The cost to attend the event is $5.00 at the door, and tickets will be distributed throughout the community and are also available at Sunrise Mall Customer Service.  The event will be located in the parking lot of Sunrise Mall, 6041 Sunrise Mall, Citrus Heights, California.  For more information:
