Part personal history of writer and The Voices and Faces Project founder Anne K. Ream's experience rebuilding her life in the wake of violence, part memoir of a multi-country journey spent listening to survivors of rape and human trafficking, Lived Through This has been adapted for the stage by its author and two award-winning playwrights, Marilyn Campbell-Lowe, and Caity-Shea Violette.

A staged reading that has been performed as a UN Commission on the Status of Women Helen Mills Theater sidebar event and at Chicago's Piven Theater, Cindy Pritzker Pavilion, and Printers Row Lit Fest, Lived Through This is now traveling to Virginia for two special performances that will benefit survivors of human trafficking.

Featuring an ensemble of actors and live musical performances inspired by the rock and soul playlist that helped the book's author heal after living through violence, Lived Through This is a play about the lives we live after saying #MeToo, and the gorgeous, funny, outspoken, all-too human persons who are living them.

About Lived Through This. Praised as "Heart stopping and beautifully rendered" (Eve Ensler), "Captivating and graced with hope, humanity and compassion" (Kirkus Reviews), "Heartbreaking but also hopeful in its belief that people's stories matter "(Chicago Tribune), and "Commanding attention…chillingly eloquent" (Publisher's Weekly), Anne K. Ream's groundbreaking book, with photographs by Patricia Evans, reminds us that survivors of sexual violence are shaped, but not defined, by what has been done to them.
