Join the Michigan Organization on Adolescent Sexual Health at U-M in September for a powerful performance of "Out of Silence," a transformative theatre project from Advocates for Youth and the 1 in 3 Campaign. Like the riveting "Vagina Monologues" by Eve Ensler, "Out of Silence" is episodic and will delve into the difficult situations and emotions that surround abortions - from multiple points of view. Through these stories, we can help end the shame and stigma associated with abortion, build empathy and community connection, and inspire audiences to engage in activism. This is the first time this theatre piece has been performed in the state of Michigan. There will also be a talkback following the performance.
