Family, Substance Abuse, and Breaking the CycleForAugust, Osage
County by Tracy LettsDate: February 5 6:00 pm
According to the most recent National Survey on Drug Use and
Health, 8.3 million children in America live inhouseholds where one
or more parent abuses alcohol or illicit drugs. This number does
not even account for the
many families where prescription drugs are abused. Families can
offer great support to one another in goodtimes and bad, but they
can easily spiral into dysfunction which can continue for
generations. What are the toxicinheritances of multi-generational
substance abuse, and how can we break the cycle?

How can weencourage more communication between the generations?

As AIDS took its grim hold in the 1980s and 90s, countless
angels emerged in communities across America,who selflessly gave of

care for those whosuffered from the disease and to prevent others
from contracting HIV. Join us for a discussion, guided by thevoices

Drawing a line from the Main Stage to Main Street, WHTs Forum
Series, now inits fourth full year, takes an issue raised in the
upcoming main stage play and re-lates it to our own community
-assembling a panel of people with an investment
or expertise in that area for a meaningful, audience-inclusive
discussion. Panelists have included business andnon-profit leaders,
clergy, educators, scholars, public officials, artists, and other
professionals. During the 2012 -13, season, nearly 300 people
attended the five forums, moderated by Maxim Williams. Forums are
schedulefor each Wednesday before the opening of each main stage
production, at 6:00 pm in the theatresmeeting room. These events
are free and open to the public. Attendees receive a $5 discount on
theirticket to the play.
Community and Audience Enrichment
Other community engagement programs include our lobby displays
for each production, pre-show talks(held on the final Thursday of
each main stage run), and talkbacks, scheduled for the first Sunday
of eachproductions run, directly after the matinee.
