Indivisible, written and performed by the cast, examines the political state of our nation and its epidemic of xenophobia, sexism, and racism. Indivisible asks the question: What can we do to create a nation that provides liberty and justice for us all?

"With a take no prisoners attitude, the cast of Indivisible takes a swipe at the American Dream by facing its realities head on," says Kim Sykes, Director. "They bravely confront the myths of democracy and offer solutions to making America truly great."

"Girl Be Heard is proud to amplify the voices of eight inspiring young leaders working to raise awareness about, and put an end to, the epidemic of sexism, racism and xenophobia sickening our country. Join us as we celebrate the voices of the next generation working to make good on America's promise of justice for all," says Jessica Greer Morris, Girl Be Heard's Executive Director.

All performances will be followed by 15-minute talkbacks, featuring politicians, women's right activists and social justice advocates.

GIRL BE HEARD develops, amplifies and celebrates the voices of young women through socially conscious theatre-making. GIRL BE HEARD promotes racial, gender, and economic empowerment by providing New York City's girls with a unique social justice education and mentoring program that tackles the obstacles they face and provides strategies to overcome them. Building self-esteem and growing individual talents is how we empower young women to become leaders and activists in their communities. Incorporated in 2011, GBH directly serves over 200 new participants per year through direct, year-long programming, and thousands more through community performances and workshops in schools and public venues across NYC. Co-founder Jessica Greer Morris continues to lead GBH as Executive Director.
