Armory Ave., Champaign, on March 8-9 at 7 p.m. and on March 10 at 5 and 7 p.m. It will be presented again on Thursday, March 16 at 7 p.m. at the Channing Murray Foundation, 1209 W. Oregon St., Urbana. Both locations are accessible to wheelchairs.

The program is sponsored by the Women’s Resources Center and the Channing Murray Foundation. Inner Voices is sponsored by the Counseling Center and the department of theatre.
