Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

["Ben Atherton-Zeman" <>]

I have emailed to Dr. Fairchild off list, but wanted to answer her question 
about Catharsis Productions and their play, "Sex Signals."  I've seen it many 
times, and am in awe of how interactive it is, how funny it is, and how 
effective it is.  

"Sex Signals" uses improvisational comedy to overcome audience defensiveness 
and boredom, and they do it extremely well.  I've seen huge audiences of 
students at Orientation, mandated athletes, members of the Greek system, and 
military officials captivated by the two actors playing the roles on stage.  
Almost in a stealth fashion, the actors end up raising many of the most 
important issues regarding sexual assault, consent, male and female 
communication regarding dating and sex - all the while, keeping the audience 
entertained and laughing while learning.  

If you bring "Sex Signals" to your college or your community, you won't be 
disappointed.  And you'll probably want to bring them back every year.  

Until the violence stops, Ben.
