Gallagher Student Center Onstage Theatre

Lauren Lucas views her attack, the trial, the aftermath and her life-at-large simultaneously. She sees the woman she will become, as well as the girl she once was. She learns how far into the future this event will consume her. Then she wakes up in the present, in high school, and she knows the struggles that await her. The Artists’ Pick of the 2014 Cincinnati Fringe Festival, Slut Shaming explores how small-town communities aggravate teenage sexual assault.
