Is it enough just to be “working on your sh*t?” In the safe spaces of a small liberal arts college, the student-led Men’s Peer Education Group and women’s Survivor Support Group work together on an ambitious plan to eradicate all sexual violence everywhere in just five years. They've got it all together -- until an incident throws their ideals into question. Five female and non-binary performers inhabit both male and female roles in this social satire about complicity and what it really takes to face the patriarchy.
 

Be advised: This play is a comedy that discusses rape culture, as well as issues and incidents of sexual assault. Please contact the box office at boxoffice@interacttheatre.org or (215) 568-8079 with any questions or concerns.
