A touching drama about the impacts and perpetuation of, and repentance from, misogynistic attitudes.

August 18, 2024, 6 p.m.

Synopsis

Max, with a history of objectifying and exploiting women, awakens to the reality of the personhood of each woman. Jonathon is awakened to the possibility of his own impure motives when accused of such, which leaves him socially paralyzed. And Lily is awakened to her social self-determination. On one hand tragic, on one hand hopeful, this play is an exploration of impacts and perpetuation of, and repentance from, misogynistic attitudes.
