UNE’s Add Verb Production’s ‘You The Man’ to be performed at Engaging Men Program orientation

UNE’s Add Verb Productions will perform “You The Man,” a piece that addresses the bystander role in violence prevention, at a three-day program orientation for the Engaging Men Program—a federal program focusing on engaging men to prevent violence against women.  The orientation will take place in Arlington, Virginia, March 11-13, 2013.

Convening at the orientation will be Futures Without Violence and the Office on Violence Against Women, both technical assistance providers for the program, as well as representatives from 12 sites across the country, selected to create public education campaigns and community organizing strategies to engage men and boys in their communities to prevent violence against women.

Cathy Plourde, executive director of Add Verb Productions, as well as “You The Man” actor Lloyd Watts, will share with orientation attendees how the play and accompanying program can be used in community, school, and organization settings to further the coordination of a response to violence.
