Break the Silence

Scenes addressing sexual assault, survival, support and speaking out

These scenes weave together the voices of survivors of sexual assault, breaking the silence that often covers sexual violence in our society. The evening offers insight into the complex issues of resolution and moving on for survivors of sexual assault and challenges us to consider our own roles in a society in which sexual violence occurs.

Open Season

Do we hand out a license each time we refuse to speak out against hate crimes? OPEN SEASON is a powerful and provocative theatre piece that looks at the deeply rooted foundations of hate crimes in contemporary society, specifically those hate crimes targeting the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered community. Through their stories, a gathering of friends reveal gay bashing incidents in their own lives as their pasts clash unceasingly with the immediate present. Do we hand out a license each time we refuse to speak out against hate crimes?

Endangered Black Girls

Join INNER VOICES Social Issues Theatre as we present University of Illinois alum and current GWS & EDS faculty Dr. Ruth Nicole Brown’s play Endangered Black Girls: Based on the lived experiences of black girls the stories presented go beyond documentation of these experiences. The purpose of Endangered Black Girls is to move toward action and celebration.
