The military version of Remote Control explores issues of sexual assault prevention and models a strong male voice in how bystanders can intervene to prevent violence against women. The play is an effective violence prevention tool developed by a team of multidisciplinary professionals. The military version was developed in collaboration with military installations — in particular the men and women of the Grand Forks Air Force Base. The characters act out several scenes dealing with relationships, abuse and respect. Remote Control models how to help friends who are victims or who exhibit abusive behavior. The interaction between actors and audience during and after the performance is a key. The program planning guide includes evaluation materials, a sample media release, poster for reproduction, discussion guide, and resources.
Limited production rights are also available.
