    The Forgotten Victims of Domestic Violence Speak

    Presented by Contemporary Youth Arts Company in partnership with the YWCA Resolve Family Abuse Program   

    Why We Stayed: The Forgotten Victims of Domestic Violence Speak shows 20 characters in crisis as they each face their own situations of domestic violence.

    Featuring the talents of actors Kayla Skidmore, Amanda Skidmore, Kaye Maertz, Meredith Clark, Rob Royce, La’Mera Rice, Desirae Rucker, Bill Myers, Sarah Schoolcraft, Linda O’Neil, Morgan Kirk, Ariel Dobbins, Erin Martin and Jack Rogers
