Description of Artwork: Deals with themes of sexuality that challenges traditional norms.

The Incident: The show was banned from a public venue (cultural arts center) by the Mayor after he saw video of a scene rehearsal. He felt the adult-themed material would not be suitable for the venue and that community members would find the nature of the material objectionable.

Results of Incident: Director Michelle Rougier was able to find a producer who would help match public donations to find another venue. The show is scheduled for the first week of February and is now being held at the University of West Georgia.
