Slut Shaming is a Time-Travel Rape Adventure that explores how teenage sexual assault is aggravated by small town communities. It offers few solutions but exposes a culture where anonymity hurts, where aggressors number in the thousands, where advocates are in short supply. It asks the question: What role does a community play in a single violent act? When are we the aggressor and how do we affect the healing process?
The answer isn’t simple. And it changes with time.
Read about Slut Shaming featured in Teaching Theatre published by EdTA.
An Adventure 6,000 Years in the Making.

““As with most collaborations between Tatum and director Bridget Leak, there is a certain unruliness to this show.”
... as with every production by Tatum and Leak, there is more than enough substance to keep our minds working well after the final scene ends.

Dylan grew up hearing the story from her grandfather: the summer of the attacks, his adventure at sea, that final, deadly confrontation. But his memory is failing, and his tales don't match the town's memory of their alcoholic Chief of Police who disappeared one summer to hunt "sea monsters."
Family legacy takes on new life as Dylan recreates her grandfather's tales in a final attempt to jolt his memory in this deep-sea thriller where the only thing scarier than a monster is losing your mind.
“It’s remarkable theatre, done by remarkable people.”
