Wake County Domestic Violence Task Force Virtual Event

Hosted by Wake County Assistant District Attorney Nishma Patel, 

the event will feature a virtual screening of "Sometimes I Sing,"

a 38-minute monodrama about domestic violence,

written and performed by Dr. Milbre Burch.

Burch's play was inspired by Susan Glaspell's 1916 one-act play Trifles, 

based on the playwright's coverage of a murder trial in 1901.

After the screening, Dr. Burch will moderate an online panel of researchers and survivor services providers

in Q and A with the audience:

Patricia L. Bryan, co-author of Midnight Assassin: A Murder in America's Heartland, about the 1901 murder case that inspired Burch's work.

Narcisa Woods, Assistant Attorney General, Public Protection Department

Jenny Lopez, Outreach Program Director, 30th Judicial District Domestic Violence - Sexual Assault Alliance, Inc.

Jia (Lisa) Luo, Research Project Manager in the Program for Advancing Violence Research & Education at the UNC School of Social Work

This event is funded, in part, by an Orange County Arts Commission Artist Project grant.
