So this is what I'll be doing at the River East Arts Center on Wednesday, April 4th from 6-8pm. I hope that you all will come listen to me read an excerpt from TRAINWRECK if you are in Chicago.
Celebrating the power of women’s resilience and resistance in the face of violence, Rape Victim Advocates (RVA) presents a night of performances by local luminaries. This one-of-a-kind event draws on the fierce joy of survival to kick off Sexual Assault Awareness Month 2012.
This event is presented in conjunction with the exhibition Off the Beaten Path: Violence, Women and Art. The free program series for the exhibition considers the global issue of violence against women through a series of innovative local programs organized by the Ellen Stone Belic Institute for the Study of Women & Gender in the Arts & Media; Rape Victim Advocates; and The Voices and Faces Project.
This event is free and open to the public.

Wow. That's going to be an amazing night.
My husband just ended up with two more sex-assault cases that made me cringe. Sad.
