Groomed

Groomed — A One-Act Play

Wednesday, October 23 at 7 PM

Admission is Free!

How can a Truth be told? How can a Secret be spoken?

A betrayed schoolboy, a Japanese soldier, and the inventor of the saxophone. Three narratives show how a story can save your life. It’s bold, provocative, theatrical—and not for a moment depressing.

The award winning play Groomed will be performed with a talk-back after the show. The performance is FREE and open to the public (PG-13).

Performed by UK playwright and male survivor, Patrick Sandford, the 1-hour, 1-act play is set in an elementary school. The performance evokes strong emotions but is not graphic. Groomed was performed at the Vatican in Nov. 2023 and is meant to educate, inform, and be a catalyst for discussions about the reality of sexual abuse of minors.
