SLUT: The Play DC

Join Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, The Arts Effect, and the Feminist Press for a historic theatrical event.

 

On May 19th, critically-acclaimed SLUT: THE PLAY will have its DC premiere at The Warner Theatre. SLUT follows the journey of 16-year-old Joey Del Marco, who is raped by three of her friends during a night out in NYC. Through Joey’s story and those of girls in her community, audiences witness the damaging impact of slut culture and the importance of being heard. The play was developed by The Arts Effect in collaboration with high school students over two years of weekly creative sessions.

 

This performance will be followed by a discussion panel with the cast, directors, and special guests.

 

Written by Katie Cappiello, directed by Katie Cappiello & Meg McInerney, and featuring the teen members of The Arts Effect All-Girl Theater Company

 

StopSlut and its coordinators are grateful to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and the creative team behind the Netflix Original Series House of Cards for making this event possible, and to the critical office-holders committed to engaging young people in conversation about their health and safety.

 

Doors open at 6:30 PM; show starts at 7 PM. 

 

School groups and organizations interested in free tix should get in touch with Taryn Mann () to coordinate.
