The Survivor Theater Project is a Boston-based theater company. RESCUING PERSEPHONE is their original play about sexual violence, childhood sexual abuse, and the experience of living in a society that tries to ignore such traumas. The actors are themselves survivors of sexual violence and childhood sexual abuse, and they draw from their personal experiences to deliver an emotional, highly-charged performance.
The Survivor Theatre Project was created in response to a deep need for survivors to bring their voices to the public discourse. The project aims to increase access to the performing arts, offer survivors a creative space for healing and empowerment, and expand public awareness on sexual violence. The Survivor Theatre Project is blazing a new path on the map of arts and activism.
