In recognition of Women’s History Month, Yvette Heyliger (Twinbiz) has teamed up with Dominique Sharpton-Bright (National Action Network) to present #MeToo Theatre Women Share Their Stories, readings of tweets, monologues, music and scenes on the subject of sexual assault or sexual misconduct within the theatre industry.
The readings will be followed by a brief talk back, and a session on preventative action steps that can be taken in the artistic workplace led by Akia Squitieri of Creating Safe Spaces.
