Watch WCSH 6 news report of a High School showing of You the Man on  February 15th, 2011 event at http://www.wcsh6.com/video/default.aspx?bctid=791353032001

“I want students to know that they deserve to be treated with respect, both emotionally and physically. You the Man demonstrates this point in a captivating, poignant, and powerful way. The play is the most unique way of conveying information and the best program I have ever seen on this topic.”
—Dr. Susan Salem, Counseling and Psychological Services, Mount St. Mary’s College

“As a psychologist and coordinator for women’s programming, I am always searching for unique ways to educate undergraduates about violence against women. Although the literature in this area encourages prevention programming be tailored toward men, it is often difficult to find such resources. You the Man is one of few programs that engage men as full partners in the fight to end violence. I believe presenting the information about violence against women in a theatrical format was particularly effective because it bypassed the typical resistance students erect when attending a program of this kind.”
—Courtney Aberle, PhD., Women’s Center, Southern Methodist University

“You the Man provides men a way to empathize and identify with issues from which many of us have long chosen to shy away. The play is an original, creative—and dare I say it—entertaining contribution to this movement. It promises to spark useful dialogue between women and men on college campuses, high schools, and all sorts of community settings.”
—Jackson Katz, Founder of the Mentors in Violence Prevention Program

“Getting young people to talk about healthy and unhealthy relationships, violence in relationships, and sexual assault is not an easy task. The beauty of You The Man is that it stimulates conversation without creating blame and controversy between the sexes. It was impossible for students to avoid relating to at least one of the characters of the show. The production encouraged conversations about the points at which a relationship might become unhealthy, what to do, and how to help. We didn’t have to spend a lot of time arguing over whose fault ‘it’ was—a typical reaction occurring in similar discussions with sophomores in high school. The conversations are continuing two weeks after the show.”
