All For One Theater to Host 'College Night' for DEVIL IN A BOX, 1/21

All For One Theater, which develops and supports the art of solo theater, will host 'College Night' on Wednesday, January 21st, 2015 at 7 PM for Sarah Jane Johnson's Devil in A Box. College Night is an opportunity for university and college students to see Sarah Jane Johnson's play Devil in a Box at a reduced ticket price and participate in a frank and open discussion about sexual assault with the performer and director Patrice Miller, following the performance.

Founder and Artistic Director of AFO, Michael Wolk said, "Sadly, sexual assault is still a topic of interest and on-going concern on college campuses. Sarah's play deals with the issue honestly, and with surprising humor. We invite college students to join the conversation after watching this tightly-paced story of sexual assault, the search for justice, and personal redemption."

For the January 21st performance only, $15 student tickets can be purchased in advance at http://allforonetheater.org/devilinabox/.

Devil in A Box is being presented in revolving repertory with Aaron Mark's Another Medea starring Tony-nominee Tom Hewitt, at The Wild Project, 195 East 3rd Street from January 14th through February 1st, 2015.

Devil in A Box, written and performed by Sarah Jane Johnson, will be directed by Patrice Miller. For a small town girl from Nebraska, a summer weekend in Paris ends in a hospital, a Police Station and the endless confusion of justice in a foreign land. With honesty, fierce wit, and a 24-ounce can of Miller Lite Sarah Jane shares her true story of trauma and finds the liberation to laugh in spite of it all. Ms. Johnson said: "Devil in A Box is an intimate look at how violence against women affects us all, with just enough humor to be able to swallow the truth."

Sarah Jane has worked at regional theatres across the country including the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, Swine Palace Productions in Baton Rouge, Depot Theatre in upstate New York and Chashama in New York City. Sarah Jane received her MFA from Louisiana State University's Professional Actor Training Program. During her enrollment at LSU, she was nominated for the Irene Ryan Award, a nationally recognized award for excellence in acting. Devil in a Box has been presented at Stage Left Studio in New York City, Out North Contemporary Art House in Anchorage, Alaska, and Bunnell Street Art Center in Homer, Alaska. Sarah Jane, and the creation process of the play are featured in New York City filmmaker Karin Anderson's documentary that interweaves the real stories of rape survivors with expert interviews to give greater voice to the crisis of sexual assault in the United States. The documentary won the New Work Award at the Chain NYC Film Festival 2014; Official Selection, Global Peace Film Festival 2014, and Official Selection at New Filmmakers New York Winter Fest 2015. Specializing in teen relationship issues, sexual misconduct and assault, Sarah Jane has recounted her survivor story and conducted educational programming for thousands of high school and college students and faculty across the country with Campus Outreach Services. She created Transforming Trauma, a writing and performance workshop for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, providing a pathway for each survivor to move forward through their trauma, celebrate their bodies and reclaim their voice.
