Sex Signals: The Real Life, Funny, Sort–of–Improv Show about Sex and Other Stuff
Wednesday, 11 Apr 2007 at 7:00 pm – Great Hall, Memorial Union
Blending a unique combination of improvisational comedy, education, and audience participation, Sex Signals provides a provocative, in-your-face look at issues surrounding dating, sex, and date rape on college campuses. Through the use of humor, the show explores how mixed messages, gender role stereotypes, and unrealistic fantasies contribute to misunderstandings between the sexes. Students are thus engaged in a candid discussion on dating and the realities of date rape as they are challenged to provide solutions that will better improve communications in interpersonal relationships. All of the performers have extensive training in interactive theater and sexual assault education.Cosponsored By:
