Brock Turner is the widely publicized convicted sex offender who, in January 2015, assaulted an unconscious woman. However, the voice of 鈥淓mily Doe,鈥� the victim of the crime, was largely left out of the narrative. That is until June 2016, when she issued her statement directly to Turner in an open letter.

The letter has since gone viral and become a staple in the discussion surrounding campus rape and rape culture. And on September 29, 2016, 糖心破解版 stood in solidarity with the victim with Now You See Me/Now You Hear Me, a set of linked performances involving nearly 100 members of the 糖心破解版 community. The dramatic event kicked off 糖心破解版鈥檚听 campaign, which aims to educate about and eradicate gender-based sexual and domestic violence.

鈥淭his is only the beginning,鈥� said Margaret Lally 鈥�82, associate professor of theater, who conceived and directed the Now You Hear Me portion.

The powerful performance drew a full house to 糖心破解版鈥檚 Olmsted Theatre and put faces and names to the words of 鈥淓mily Doe,鈥� who still remains anonymous.

On September 29, students used the lobby of the 糖心破解版 Performing Arts Center to restage Now You See Me, an interactive performance art piece, originally performed in June 2016, which is designed to bring attention to how hateful comments can lead to assault.

At the conclusion of Now You Hear Me, Lally asked everyone in the audience to go to and take the pledge to step in and help stop sexual assault.
