U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern Army Community Service and U.S. Army Europe staff will present the newest in sexual harassment prevention shows, “Sex Signals,” July 20.
With realistic dating scenarios, the show will change the look of sexual harassment to local Soldiers, civilian employees and families.
“‘Sex Signals’ is a dramatic play used to deliver a message through theater. It’s only a cast of two and it’s amazing how two people can deliver such a strong message,” said Michelle Thomas, USAG-K ACS director. “No organization wants to say that they have problems with sexual assault and things of that nature. But you know what? It’s real. It’s here, and the only way we can combat it is to ensure that we make the public aware.”
“Sex Signals” is a free show. It will be performed three times throughout the day at the Galaxy Theater on Vogelweh.
The program is part of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response programs and supported by the I. A.M. Strong Campaign. Sex Signals interactive training is one of the Army’s newest sexual assault and sexual harassment education and prevention programs. There will be constant interaction from the audience throughout the 75-minute show, followed by a one-hour open floor discussion between the audience and performers.
“We are taking a whole different look at the problem and coming from a different angle. We can give them a flyer. We can stand in front of them and lecture all day. Let’s give them some visibility, let’s show them what we’re talking about and this program is a great approach to do so. It’s a great way to relay the message that sexual assault cannot be tolerated and will not be tolerated,” Ms. Thomas said.
“It’s important to get the word out, I’m excited about it. It should be an interesting program to see,” said Kevin Tryon, ACS marketing specialist. This will be the second time ‘Sex Signals’ has come to Europe, and the performances are sure to leave a lasting impression.
The first performance will be at 9 a.m. and is open to Soldiers. Civilian employees and contractors will be permitted to attend at 1:15 p.m., and family members will have a chance at 3. All showings should consist of audience members ages 18 and older.
