Elevating our neighbors’ stories, More Than Bruises opens Friday
More Than Bruises: Stories of Abuse and Healing shares the stories of women from the Gallatin Valley. This original verbatim play, produced in conjunction with HAVEN, weaves together their stories of abuse and healing into a play that challenges us to truly listen and invites us to come together as a community. We are so proud of this show, which emphasizes the process of creating together and the showcases the community in community theater.
The play was created by Verge’s own programs director, Jessie Sherman, solely from interviews with survivors and aims to provide a space for survivors of domestic violence to share their stories with each other and with the larger community. By co-sponsoring this powerful show, HAVEN and Verge Theater aim to raise awareness and stimulate dialogue about domestic violence, as well as to foster communities of support, large and small, for victims and survivors.
Please be mindful that this play contains descriptions of physical, sexual, and psychological violence, and may not be suitable for all viewers.
THIS SHOW IS FREE TO THE PUBLIC BUT SEATING IS LIMITED; PLEASE RESERVE YOUR SEATS TODAY.
The show runs at Verge Fridays and Saturdays this weekend and next at 8PM before traveling to The Shane Center in Livingston for three nights. See you soon!
