SOURCE21, the adult touring company of The SOURCE – Real Life Real Theatre from Planned Parenthood of SW and Central Florida, is pleased to announce a series of free community performances of our nationally acclaimed play, The Day I Opened My Eyes at the Backlot, October 20 – 22.  The production will later travel to Washington, D. C. for a special performance for members of Congress.  In addition to these performances, a limited number of touring dates are available to community groups.   

SOURCE21 has been awarded a generous grant from Planned Parenthood Global Partners in Washington D.C. to tour the play across the state of Florida.   

Hard-hitting and painfully honest, The Day I Opened My Eyes deals with such issues as poverty, the lack of family planning in developing nations, HIV/AIDS, illegal abortion, and honor crimes.   Using powerful monologues, music, dance, and larger than life photography, five college students travel on an imaginative journey into the lives of young adults from different countries around the world, merging emotion and politics into real life stories of global youth. 

This is a unique opportunity for Florida residents to see the play that has toured the United States for the past three years, including SOURCE tours to California, New York, Washington, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon, D. C., Virginia, and Michigan.  SOURCE Director/Producer, KT Curran spoke about the project, “In this period of global terror and strife, there has never been a more important time for young people to reach out to different cultures in an effort to understand the vital, human issues that unite us all.”
