1995 – SOUL THEATRE’S BENEFIT
Soul Theatre’s Benefit by Sam Shepard & artists.
ARTISTIC NOTES :
The Benefit consisted of four scenes from A Lie of the Mind by Sam Shepard. After each scene, Alicia Liley stepped out of character to explain the circumstances about ABI as depicted in the scene.
After Interval, an arts extravaganza consisted of:

PURPOSE : Raising finances for the continuation of Soul Theatre Inc.
1994 – A LIE OF THE MIND by Sam Shepard
ARTISTIC NOTES : Soul Theatre’s production A Lie of the Mind by Sam Shepard was selected as our inaugural production because the protagonist Beth acquires brain injury from domestic violence. Both issues align to Soul Theatre’s mission statement. Alicia Liley who perfomed this character Beth, also has acquired brain injury (ABI) from a near-fatal car accident. She saw many correlations between Beth’s and her own recovery.
PURPOSE : Raise awareness of the general public about both Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) and domestic violence, in order to reduce the prolific occurrences of both adversities, as well as to lessen the inherent prejudice towards survivors.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS : Chris Thompson, Artistic Director, St. Martin’s The Victorian Centre for Youth Arts; We gratefully acknowledge Sam Shepard’s assistance in staging this performance.
BENEFICIARIES : Headway Victoria; The Domestic Violence and Incest Resource Centre
VENUE : Irene Mitchell Studio, St. Martins Youth Arts Theatre
SEASON : 23 November – 8 December 1994
