    Contemporary Youth Arts Company Presents: “Why We Stayed”

    “Why We Stayed: The Forgotten Victims of Domestic Violence Speak”

    “Why We Stayed” is a theatrical production by the Contemporary Youth Arts Company (CYAC) that explores the complex reasons people remain in abusive relationships, focusing on the often-ignored struggles of “forgotten victims” of domestic violence. The play portrays the daily realities of survival for diverse characters—from mothers and police officers to convicts and neighbors—highlighting the societal barriers, personal struggles, and emotional entrapments that prevent people from leaving abusive situations. The production serves as a fundraising event for the YWCA’s Resolve Family Abuse Program, aiming to give voice to survivors and foster understanding of these difficult issues.
