*SHOW CONTENT WARNING: SEXUAL ASSAULT*

In the playwright's own words, Morning After "asks what happens when no one knows what happened on the night of a sexual assault. It battles questions of forgiveness, blame, and how one assault can lead to a long period of trauma in friend groups and individuals."

[wit] presents a staged reading of Morning After, an original play by Bella Miranda ('19).

"If theatre is necessary—it must actively fight against systems that dehumanize and criminalize and it must do so by doing work that is necessary, pulled from somewhere deep inside, too far back for any of us to remember and yet we recognize it, feel it in our own bodies when we see it, when we hear it... My body, my words, my only weapon in a war that I believe is being waged on culture, on memory, on history."

Tracing the family she's created artistically and socially, Virginia Grise writes about art-making as a process of survival, self-actualization, and community building.
