SHATTERED SECRETS
by Libbe HaLevy 
Shattered Secrets: an honest, at times witty and raw look at childhood sexual abuse and how those victims carry the shame, anger and confusion
into their adulthood.
A group of people from very different ages, races, incomes, status and environments that all share the same scars, come together for a 12-step recovery meeting.

​the playwright...
Libbe HaLevy is an award-winning playwright and librettist whose plays and musicals have received over 50 productions in New York, Los Angeles, Canada, and Europe.  Thanksgiving, the second of the “Carolyn Cycle,” won the National Gay Playwriting Award.  Her libretto to the musical for Now, Voyager, based on the beloved Bette Davis movie, won the Spirit of Moondance award at the Moondance International Film Festival, and Shattered Secrets, a Moondance finalist, ran 2-1/2 years in Santa Monica and has received international productions. Secrets, a version of that play that included choreographic movement was directed by Tony Award-winner Grover Dale, produced by Michel Stuart, who was in the original “Chorus Line” and produced “Nine” on Broadway, and featured Paula Prentiss in the cast. 
HaLevy’s freelance writing has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe Village Voice and LA Weekly.  As a writing and business coach, her clients have included Julie Andrews, Emma Walton Hamilton, and a first-time author whose book was endorsed by the Dalai Lama.  She also works as a coach with incest survivors who have already done their basic recovery work, but now wish to become more active and productive in the world. 
Since 2011, Libbe has produced and hosted Nuclear Hotseat, a weekly podcast/broadcast on nuclear issues... from a "different" perspective (www.NuclearHotseat.com).  The show is downloaded in 123 countries and syndicated for broadcast by Pacifica.  She regularly speaks on nuclear issues to corporations, schools, churches, and community groups that want to know how to protect their health and their genetic future from the ravages of nuclear radiation.  She is available to travel for speaking engagements, keynote addresses, workshops, and consultations.  Libbe HaLevy can be reached at: HeartistryComm@aol.com.
