About This Show

A documentary play composed of interviews with college students about their experiences with sex education, both in and out of the classroom. Blanket Statement is compilation of verbatim monologues, sharing stories of awkward conversations and confusing interactions, of shame and fear, of joy and satisfaction. Inspired by consciousness raising, it is political, educational, and cathartic, intended to combat stigma and to promote open discourse. Such work is crucial at any time and especially now, amid a political and cultural climate that threatens to eliminate access to sexual literacy and health care. Recipient of Yale’s 2016 Norman Holmes Pearson Prize for the best American Studies senior thesis.
