<P CLASS="MsoNormal"><SPAN>With deft humor and wit, and without ever feeling sorry for herself, solo performer Heather Marlowe captures the absurdity of the current untested rape kit crisis in this country while telling a stunning story that could happen to any of us. </SPAN></P>
<DIV><SPAN>The Haze is one of the very few, if not </SPAN>only<SPAN> piece of solo theater in our time that can demonstrate tangible systemic change that has grown from it being performed. The Haze is responsible for exposing Marlowe's untested rape kit as well as several thousand untested rape kits at San Francisco Police Department. Those now tested kits have resulted in close to 200 cold hits on serial rapists. </SPAN></DIV>
