Contemporary Youth Arts Company Presents Why We Stayed

Oct. 9, 10, 11, 16. 17 – 7pm and Oct. 12 & 19 – 2pm

Presented by Contemporary Youth Arts Company in partnership with the YWCA Resolve Family Abuse Program   

Why We Stayed: The Forgotten Victims of Domestic Violence Speak shows 20 characters in crisis as they each face their own situations of domestic violence. These hard-hitting portrayals of men and women tell the forgotten and ignored stories of the day-to-day survival of America’s silent victims. From the mother-to-be to the mother-in-law, the jaded cop to the devastated BCS worker to the nurse and the convict and the women of society and poverty and your next door neighbor, the characters preach truth to society’s conveniently deafened ears.
