MOODY AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- Moody is scheduled to host an educational play 1:30-2:30 p.m. Sept. 26 at the base theater in an effort to spread awareness about sexual harassment and domestic violence.

The play is called "The Yellow Dress", which is based on a true story about Deana Brisbois, a 23-year-old woman who was involved in an abusive relationship before dying in a car accident. Her family created the play to help prevent dating violence.

"This play allows people to learn first-hand that domestic violence and sexual abuse do happen everywhere," said Frances Elmore, Moody's Sexual Assault Response Coordinator. "It's a non-traditional way of presenting these sensitive topics without briefings or Powerpoint presentations."

Stacy Fischer will portray Deana and the play will be broken down to a 30-minute performance followed by a 30-minute interactive discussion with the audience.

For those Airmen who aren't able to make the base performance, they have a chance to see it at VSU, said Ms. Elmore.

The play at VSU is scheduled for 7-8 p.m. Sept. 27 at Bailey Science Center. Everyone is invited to watch the performance at VSU.

Our goal is to educate and spread awareness about relationship violence, said Ms. Elmore.

"We're proud to host the play for the Moody community," she said. "I hope that everyone will take time to watch the performance."
