In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month this October, we proudly present Natural Shocks by award-winning playwright Lauren M. Gunderson.

This timely and captivating one-woman play, performed by local actor and former CFN client Kat Hickey, explores the hidden dangers women face when caught in the crosshairs of domestic abuse and gun violence.

Set against the looming threat of a tornado, Natural Shocks blends sharp wit and raw honesty to raise awareness, ignite conversation, and inspire collective action to end violence in our relationships and communities.

Performance Schedule:

Performances will be held at WunderKammer Company, a contemporary art center located in the heart of Fort Wayne. Audiences can choose from three performances between October 17–19, with special events including a donor reception, a meet and greet with the actor, and an interactive community talkback panel.

Proceeds from this production will help fund our programs that support individuals and families affected by violence. If you cannot attend and still would like to support our work, please donate at https://givebutter.com/DVAM2025.
