The purpose of this article is to share descriptions of the personal impact for cross-national youth actors (Japanese, American) who performed (), a documentary theater script that shares the stories of Pearl Harbor and Hiroshima survivors who lived through the bombings of December 7, 1941, and August 6, 1945, respectively.
DESIGN/METHODS: This was a descriptive exploratory focus group study conducted immediately after student-actors from Funairi High School in Hiroshima ( = 15) and Farrington High School in Oahu, Hawaii ( = 8), performed . Data were content analyzed by a cross-national research team to address the question "What was the personal impact of performing for Japanese and American youth actors?"
There were three themes that crossed national boundaries: sense of power of the message from real-life people, new cross-national awareness, and moving beyond familiar history to engage and learn. The fourth theme distinguished the youth groups: for Japanese youth, performing inspired an awareness of their local focus; for American youth, it enlivened youth-to-youth engagement as a learning approach.
Documentary theater script is a creative, holistic approach with the potential to bridge divisiveness and promote cross-national understanding.
本文旨在分享跨国家庭青年演员（日本、美国）在表演（）时的个人影响，该戏剧脚本分享了分别经历过 1941 年 12 月 7 日和 1945 年 8 月 6 日爆炸事件的珍珠港和广岛幸存者的故事。
设计/方法：这是一项描述性探索性焦点小组研究，在广岛 Funairi 高中的学生演员（=15 人）和夏威夷瓦胡岛法灵顿高中的学生演员（=8 人）表演之后立即进行。由一个跨国研究团队对数据进行内容分析，以回答“表演对日本和美国青年演员有何个人影响？”这一问题。
有三个主题跨越了国界：真实人物信息的强大力量感、新的跨国意识以及超越熟悉的历史去参与和学习。第四个主题区分了青年群体：对于日本青年来说，表演激发了他们对当地焦点的意识；对于美国青年来说，它激发了青年与青年之间的互动，作为一种学习方法。
纪录片戏剧脚本是一种具有创造性、整体性的方法，具有弥合分歧、促进跨国理解的潜力。
