In 2017, she created and produced New York\u2019s first FRIDGE Festival, and is the Managing Producer of the #HealMeToo Festival, which debuted last Spring. Additionally, she is a 2019 Sokoloff Creative Arts Fellow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our interview, Arnoux said that even though the show is a social justice show, it won\u2019t feel like an after school special.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She said that one of the hardest parts of directing the show is the battle it takes to get schools to produce it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One statement she faces often is that <em>\u201cwe don\u2019t have the resources available for if the show triggers somebody.\u201d<\/em> which deeply troubles her. The name is also a major problem for schools.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KAciAYJp18U?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption>A video the college put out announcing the play and explaining the premise.

This is due to how complex the characters are, as well as the situations they are placed in. The girls have to change their thinking and act even if they don\u2019t agree with what their character is doing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arnoux stated that showings of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.playbill.com\/article\/cast-of-teens-explore-rape-culture-in-slut-the-play-com-382884\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"\u201cSlut\u201d (opens in a new tab)\">\u201cSlut\u201d<\/a> have affected everyone in attendance, from middle schoolers to 80-year-olds. She is sad that the themes of the show are so universal, and wishes for the world to reach a point when the show is no longer relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>LeAnne McPherson<br><\/strong>Reporter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of phase one of Sinclair Theatre&#8217;s Diversity Grant, the college brought theatre professional Charlotte Arnoux to campus for a workshop with the cast of \u201cSlut, The Play,\u201d on Sept. 17.
