Here’s an entertainment idea for those of you with teenaged and young adult sons and daughters. Go see the play, “Domestic Violence — the Musical!”
What a concept; stories of struggle and survival told through the medium of theater and music is a powerful way of educating and advocating for the silent and invisible victims of violence in our homes, our neighborhoods, our community.
Linda King, co-writer of this production, is a powerful person with a powerful story — her own story of a family’s struggle through tragic loss, resolution and resilience and healing through outreach and advocacy.
King was the mother of three children, all three of whom tragically died — one in an automobile accident, the others through violent crime. Her daughter died as a result of a nine-year relationship rife with violence. Lisa’s death led Linda toward the path upon which she now travels; speaking out against family violence and driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
