"With Each Other" was a performance developed by and for ASU students. The goal of the original production was to teach incoming freshmen about sexual violence prevention. The 35-minute play imagines a graduation ceremony that celebrates the contributions of ASU students towards creating a culture of healthy sexuality and consent on campus.

• Comments about “With Each Other”:
• “I have become much more aware of asking for consent in my daily interactions. I am now aware of my own personal touch with others and my responsibility to ask for consent when hugging or engaging in my everyday personal touch with colleagues, friends, and students.”- Nikki Truscelli, “With Each Other” actor
• “I never saw someone like me on stage until now.” -“With Each Other” audience member
• “I used to think that if someone was drunk or acting overly sexual at a party, that it was their fault if they got into trouble. I heard someone onstage say that today and realized how stupid it sounded.”-“With Each Other” workshop participant
