Ben Atherton-Zeman – spokesperson, speaker and performer on issues of sexism and violence prevention – will present his highly acclaimed “Voices of Men” performance on Wednesday, April 6, for the annual Tamara Williams Memorial Lecture.

“Voices of Men” is a multi-media play that deals with issues of sexual assault and date rape, domestic and dating violence, sexual harassment and objectification. The play uses humor and celebrity male voice impressions to bring these topics to an audience in a way that minimizes defensiveness. Each male character in the play is forced to deal with one of the issues listed above – in doing so, they come to the realization that they are, in fact, part of the problem.

The performance includes graphic images of violence. More information about Mr. Atherton-Zeman and his work can be seen at http://www.voicesofmen.org

Tamara Williams was a University of Michigan student when she was killed by her boyfriend in 1997. The annual lecture is meant to commemorate her life, raise awareness of domestic and dating violence, and increase interest in their prevention.
