War. Pacifism. Conscientious Objection. The peace-mongering cabaret marches on.
Tuesday, September 9: 9/11 — Liberate Yourself from the Mass Media
WE WANT YOU.
Interested in participating, but not sure how? The Follies is in need of performers to read! Reply to Sophia_skilesyahoo.com with your interest and availability and you will receive via e-mail a list of readings from which to choose and eventually, a running order.
Choose! THAW takes the mainstream media to task with readings from the works of social critic and journalist Barbara Ehrenreich, Charlie Rose's interview with Democracy Now!'s Amy Goodman, urban subversive playwright Wallace Shawn's missives to the Nation, Al Gore's recent speech at NYU, a clarion call from Arundhati Roy, cultural critic Susan Sontag's 9/11 contribution to The New Yorker, and even Bad Boy Richard Foreman weighs in with his offering to the NYC anthology, 110 Stories, and so much more!
Each month THAW's Freedom Follies assemble a posse of rough and tumble NYC theater all-stars for performances, readings and speak-outs. August's Follies took it to the next level with standing room only displays of satire and subversion.
Don't miss out! September 9 — Save the date and participate!
THAW (Theaters Against War) is an international network of theater artists responding to the United States' ongoing "War on Terror", aggressive and unilateral foreign policies, and escalating attacks on civil liberties in the US and throughout the world.
