Interactive theater exploring nonviolent solutions to violence in our community

Crime Survivors [1] for Community Safety invites you to join us this fall as we launch an innovative program to explore what steps we can take to intervene when we see violence happening in our community.

What Is Interactive Theater?

We perform a short play about family violence and racial profiling. As an audience member, you get to go onstage and attempt a nonviolent intervention. Will it work? The only way we’ll find out is to try.

Who Should Attend?

Anyone who has not always felt comfortable calling the police, but wants to act when they see violence happening. Come and try any nonviolent intervention that you think can create safety and accountability in your community.
