Details

Silent Screams is a one-woman show that takes a glimpse into the dynamic
lives
of 4 women from different upbringings but who share one common theme---their

silence of sexual abuse. Sprinkled with humor and an earthy appeal that both
men
and women can enjoy, Silent Screams speaks of courage and hope--designed to
bring about awareness and healing and is sure to "edutain" persons of all
ages,
races, and backgrounds.
