6/28/2007

Join UNTIL THE VIOLENCE STOPS: NEO for their final two productions!

V-Day's first locally produced UNTIL THE VIOLENCE STOPS festival, UNTIL THE VIOLENCE STOPS: NORTHEAST OHIO has had an exciting two weeks of theater, spoken word and community events taking place throughout the state and raising funds and awareness to end violence against women and girls.

Akron- Summit County Public Library Auditorium, 60 S. High St., 7:30 p.m curtain

Featuring: Taba Aleem, Heather Burns (WAPS), Christine Grisez, Russell Kunz, Kendra Norris, Margo Parker, Damaris Patterson, Marci Paolucci, Donna Rizor-Longfellow, Eric Mansfield (WKYC-TV), Kim Wheeler (WKYC-TV)
