Thank you for tuning into Seeing Rape 2020 : Installment I Watch all the Installments on www.SeeingRape.com In these uncertain and upsetting times of Coronavirus, we came together, albeit virtually, as cast and crew to remind ourselves that we are creative, that we are connected, and that we can combat ALL important societal issues. We dedicate this year’s performance to New York City and its residents. The plays you will see in this four-part series were written by John Jay College student-playwrights who wish to encourage conversation, dismantle stereotypes and eradicate sexual violence from the planet. This work was originally intended for a live performance in the Gerald Lynch Theater at John Jay College. The topics are difficult, the language is strong, but the sentiments and purpose are for positive change.If you or someone you know would like to speak with a counselor or need help, please consult the Seeing Rape 2020 playbill on seeingrape.com for agencies and hotline numbers.

Read more on this year's Seeing Rape: https://www.seeingrape.com/ Seeing Rape is a performance written by John Jay College students. This group of men and women playwrights represent sexual violence in their own words, dialects and languages in engaging and novel ways. In short plays, the way rape intersects with hyper-masculinity, the opioid epidemic, the work place, immigration at the Southern border, and dating will be examined through drama. Seeing Rape performances are the dramatic results of the course “Sex, Gender, and Justice: Seeing Rape,” taught by Professors Shonna Trinch and Barbara Cassidy. The plays are all treated as works of fiction even though several are based on real-life, personal situations. “Students spend a semester reading, writing and discussing representations of rape that many of them have never confronted before,” said Professor Trinch. “In their final class projects, students attempt to represent sexual violence in a multi-perspectival way that humanizes perpetrators, bystanders and of course, victims.” Trinch says the plays are critiqued and questioned, with students doing several rewrites until they are ready for the professional actors. “It’s always so interesting to see the final product on the stage, because the audience probably has no idea how much work went into getting each play and the entire production to show time.”
