Dawn's Place

Join Dawn's Place for a fundraising event including a wine & cheese reception and tickets to the new play Project Dawn, written by playwright Karen Hartman.  "Project Dawn Court (PDC) in Philadelphia is a non-traditional, problem solving court for women who have been repeatedly arrested on prostitution charges. Women who agree to participate in the court plead no contest to their latest charge of prostitution. Instead of going to jail, they complete four phases of treatment, including sexual trauma recovery therapy and drug treatment."
"World Premier:  Philadelphia is home to a revolutionary court designed by a passionate and shockingly funny group of women. Every day these lawyers, judges, parole officers, and staff work to transform the lives of women repeatedly convicted for prostitution. In this daring and vital new play in which seven actresses portray multiple participants and members of the court, Karen Hartman probes the thin lines between freedom and slavery, activism and obsession for women on both sides of the law. Inspired by Hartman’s extensive first–hand research inside Project Dawn Court, this play is the first world premiere from our nationally renowned New Play Frontiers Residency & Commission program at People’s Light."
 
Proceeds from the ticket sales will benefit Dawn's Place, a residential treatment center for women who have been trafficked.
The play begins at 7:30 PM, the wine & cheese reception will begin at 6:30 at People's Light Theatre.
