WISER Episode 1: When It All Began

In celebration of the 50th Anniversary of WISE, an Upper Valley-based organization dedicated to ending gender-based violence through survivor-centered advocacy, prevention, education and mobilization for social change, Northern Stage has partnered with WISE to create a podcast retrospective. The series features stories of the people who helped evolve WISE into the organization it is today and who continue to create positive change against gender-based violence into the present and future. In the Summer of 2021, 16 people were interviewed by Jess Chayes, Northern Stage’s former BOLD Associate Artistic Director and award-winning director and producer of new work. In this engaging and information podcast, personal stories from WISE’s past help connect us with the mission of creating a more peaceful future.
