SURE Stories: “No Safe Place” A Musical

The following blog post was written by fellow UHPer and Spring 2023 SURE Award recipient, Anne Joseph (English and Music Majors, ’23). Read on about how Anne plans to utilize the SURE Award funding to further expand upon her research experience!

No Safe Place, is an original musical written, composed, and directed by Anne Laurie Joseph— a graduating senior double majoring in English and music. The show follows the stories of a number of women who are speaking up about their experiences of sexual assault, while also discovering that they are not alone in their journeys of healing.

With the SURE Award, my team and I can tell a complete story, with the opportunity to capture the moment via recording. Funding is being used for set building, design, costume, props, and other equipment that we might need.

The show will premiere as a part of the 2023 Corcoran NEXT Festival, at the GW XX Blackbox Theater on Wednesday and Thursday, April 26 and 27, at 7:30PM. Please use the links below to review the program book, and to follow our instagram for updates and behind the scenes.
