The Streets Have Spoken, May 20th-21st, 2005
A hip-hop theater play written by Colored Ink, is a relevant artistic production that cries out against the senseless violence that plagues our young brothers-sisters-friends--OUR CITY'S YOUTH. This play offers a unique peer insight, from the perspective of those directly affected by urban teen homicide and violence. Unlike the sensationalistic depiction in the media, THE STREETS HAVE SPOKEN is a heartfelt urban fable addressing what affects us all-regardless of which neighborhood we live in.

On December 1st and 2nd, 2005, performers from Community Works' Shout it Out Young Women's Theater Ensemble, and Brava Theatre's Performance Workshop & Colored Ink presented "Just Enough Love Left Over" on Brava's main stage. Just Enough Love Left Over ties together work by a diverse group of contemporary writers to address how women struggle with, and find ways to overcome, issues like body image, homophobia, and sexual assault.
Abuse: A Great Way To Numb The Pain
This was a production based on how young women feel about the different kinds of abuse that they recieve from others, and the abuse that they put themselves through. It was a deep, emotional, journey into personal feelings, which struck a nerve through the audience members.
