ACT: Affective Catharsis through Theatre

ACT (Affective Catharsis through Theatre) was a collaborative showcase of student-written theatre pieces with regards to raising awareness about domestic violence and sexual assault. Some issues that were portrayed were domestic violence in the home, intimate partner violence, sexual assault, violent crimes on campus, and the effects on the self. 

Donations went to Women Aware whose mission is to end domestic violence in the lives of women, children, and men, and to change societal attitudes and institutions that promote and condone violence, through public policy, advocacy, education, and programs and services that promote lives free of violence.

ACT was an IWL Social Action Project created by student Marisa Irabli and coordinated by Cabaret Theatre's Special Events Coordinator Courtney King.
