A reading of The Possessed Girls of St. Mary's was performed March 9 at the Brick Aux at 7:00! This event also acted as a fundraiser and discussion surrounding period poverty. Audiences were encouraged to bring pads & tampons that were donated to Expecting Relief. Following the reading, there was a discussion hosted by the local chapter of Period. This event was co-hosted with Fringe and Fur.
