She is very brave and courageous and she fights for what she believes in, but sometimes it can be a little conflicting with the situation she is in and her circumstance.”“It made us very aware of the story we were telling. The show is not pretending to solve any of these issues, but we are trying to show there are humans impacted by this,” Gray said.

I really enjoy it. I love it.”The student cast rehearses #voiced, playing at the University of Texas at Dallas Feb, 16 - 25.challenges audiences to think about empathy, social justice, and how they make themselves heard.
