Friday, May 31 scenarios Include:

· Rude Street Musician: A street musician is playing his guitar and singing along a crowded city street� only he is not your typical singer/songwriter. Instead he makes his living insulting people, making fun of everything. But when his tunes hit a sour note and the ballad becomes bullying, will anyone confront him?

· Boating Under the Influence: A clearly intoxicated couple and their young child are sitting at a marina bar, drinking and carrying on. When the drunk father and mother try to head back to their boat with their child, will anyone stand up and stop them from potential disaster?

· Transgender Prom: How will fellow shoppers react when they witness a transgender girl trying on dresses to wear to her prom? What will the response be when her father disagrees with the dress choice?

· Runaway Bride: A woman in a wedding dress runs into a bar, sits down at a stool and orders some hard liquor. She's sweating, her mascara is running, and she looks completely distraught, explaining she is having cold feet and does not know if she can spend the rest of her life with her fianc� - and that she's supposed to be at the altar in 15 minutes. Will complete strangers give advice? What if it's the groom having cold feet?

"What Would You Do?" has won awards from the Chicago International Television Festival and the Avon Foundation's 2006 Voice of Change Award for exposing "injustice and wrongdoing against women and bringing the message of domestic violence to the mainstream."
