We know what he did… we know
what he said…. but was it sexual harassment?
Tensions are high in this
courtroom drama where CARRIE accuses ROGER of sexual harassment.
In this high-stakes battle of legal maneuvering, the fate of the
defendant is up to you, the jury. PETER,
the plaintiff attorney, provides a focused attack, but THERESE, the
defense attorney, provides an solid defense in this battle of words,
disagreement over actions, and debate over the fate of workplace
freedom-of-speech.
Quid Pro Quo sexual harassment
occurs if a job benefit is directly connected to an employee submitting to
unwelcome sexual advances or demands.
For example, a supervisor promises an employee a raise if she will
go out on a date with him, or tells an employee she will be fired if she
doesn't sleep with him.
Approximate
running time: 45 minutes / one-act

THERESE………………………Defense Attorney
