Ask a Sex Abuse Survivor

"A POWERFUL AND MOVING TESTIMONIAL."

Called "a powerful and moving testimonial to the impact of childhood sexual abuse throughout a lifetime" by Clinician Megan L. Doyle of SOAR (Survivors of Abuse in Recovery), Michael Broussard's interactive one-man show "Ask a Sex Abuse Survivor" has been praised by mental health professionals and survivors.

STORYTELLING, AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION AND IMPROVISATION

The show utilizes an innovative mix of storytelling, audience participation and improvisation to spark a real-time discussion on the impact of sexual abuse on children and adult survivors. Audience feedback is solicited throughout the performance, not just at the end, and that feedback helps shape the performance. Thus, no two performances of "Ask a Sex Abuse Survivor" are alike. Each is a singular event, a true collaboration between artist and audience.

"DOCTOR WHO SAVED MY LIFE."

As a young scifi geek, Broussard found solace in, of all things, the British TV program Doctor Who. Learn more at the show.

SURVIVORS BECOME THRIVERS

Survivors are encouraged to attend and share their own stories in the feedback breaks. Spouses, significant others and friends of survivors will also find the show informative and uplifting. And while the show is on a fairly somber topic, there is also a healthy amount of humor, and ultimately, a powerful message of hope and healing: There is life after trauma and not only can we survive, we can thrive.
