Abuse Drama Benefit to Aid Survivors Boston Herald [Arlington MA] May 19, 2004 The Bailiwick Repertory Theater of Chicago announced yesterday it will raise money to aid sexual-abuse survivors and their families when it brings its production of "Sin: A Cardinal Deposed" to Arlington's Regent Theatre next month. Michael Murphy's acclaimed docudrama, based on Bernard CardinalLaw's testimony in the clergy sex-abuse case, runs at the Regent June 9-27. At a benefit performance June 14, the company hopes to raise more than $10,000 for three survivor-aid groups, including the Boston-based Survivors First. Murphy will attend a pre-show reception and post-show discussion. Company manager Mark Steel said Bailiwick is bringing the play to Boston because of the overwhelming response "Sin" has gotten from abuse survivors: "We came to know that we had a far greater responsibility than just making compelling and informative theater. We had an obligation to give voice to their pain." For information, call 781-646-4849. ROBERT NESTI |
