The show opens on a dark stage.
You hear a man and woman arguing.
He’s bullying her.
She begs him to stop.
Her begging angers him even more.
You hear her being pushed…then hit…SHE SCREAMS!!!
Stage lights come up.
She’s on the floor.
He’s standing over her.
He’s going to hit her again!
Then another actor steps between them, and announces,
“We interrupt this beating to tell you how it could have been prevented!”
AFTER THAT, GET READY…because for the next 55 minutes you are going to take an
emotional and musical roller coaster ride, in which a Male and Female Abuser, a Victim, and
the rest of the cast of “DOMESTIC VIOLENCE THE MUSICAL?” tell you HOW Abusers do
what they do, and WHY Victims, “Just don’t leave.”
The music and dance styles run the gamut: Gospel, Country, Blues, Tango, Waltz, 50’s Do-
Wop, Calypso, and a spoof on the Hallelujah Chorus titled, “DOCUMENTATION”
“DOMESTIC VIOLENCE THE MUSICAL?” is laced with dark humor, and is as off-the-wall as
its title. The audience and the theatre are the set. The face-to-face interaction between the
audience and the cast is constant, and the audience has a voice on the outcome. PLUS…they
will find themselves laughing; crying and clapping at things they are not sure they should be
laughing at, clapping for, or crying over.
“DOMESTIC VIOLENCE THE MUSICAL?” After you have seen it, you won’t be able to
describe it, BUT…you won’t stop talking about it.

SHOWUP.COM-Greater Phoenix
“Each song is a different style, reflecting the fact that domestic violence affects every area of society…” “It may not sound funny, but there are many moments of humor in this show.”
El Paso Magazine, El Paso, Texas
"I was impressed with the professionalism of the production, with the talent of the actors, with the provocative, ‘out of the box’ approach, but more importantly I was impressed with the impact it had on the audience."
Jaime Esparza, District Attorney, 34th Judicial District, El Paso, Texas
"I certainly would recommend the production to other domestic violence programs, community groups, prosecutors offices and high schools. I thought the idea to bring it to the United States Air Force was especially good. If I or my office can be of any assistance in promoting the musical and the production, please let me know."
Scott Key, District Attorney, Otero & Lincoln Counties, Alamogordo, New Mexico
…each song was a different style that provided a specific message about the realities of the touchy subject that left the audience laughing, cheering and crying.”
Marine Corp Air Station, Iwakuni, Japan website, www.mcasIwakuni.mil
My wife and I were in complete tears after the performance the other night. Not only tears of joy, but tears of "remembering" what our family went through many years ago with our granddaughter, also due to domestic violence.”
Dr. Stuart Haley, Phoenix, AZ
“At the conclusion of the performance, players received a standing ovation and cheers from the audience. The audience was also cheering at several points during the performance, as well as laughing, crying and gasping.”
