Tull Family Theater launches Science on Screen
Tull Family Theater’s Science on Screen series opens April 29 with a free community screening of the award-winning film “Test Pattern.” Applauded by critics and by the International Association of Forensic Nurses, the film features a couple’s struggles as they seek a forensic examination after the woman is sexually assaulted by a stranger (April is Sexual Assault Awareness month). Following the screening, Dr. Sara Jennings, education director for the IAFN, will provide a live, remote discussion focused on the medical forensic exam and needs of the patient. The presentation will be moderated by a representative of Pittsburgh Action Against Rape, one of the oldest rape crisis centers in the country. While admission to this event is free, registrations are required due to occupancy restrictions. Patrons are asked to email hello@thetullfamilytheater.org, identifying the number of tickets needed.
Additional titles and presentations will be announced soon.
