[Peace-discuss] Voices of a People's History

[Jenifer Cartwright]

GREAT idea! Anybody have any contacts w/ Station Theatre or Parkland's Theatre Dept? 
   
  Btw, Speaking of People's History of the United States, the rights to screen production (or whatever it's called) were bo't by Rupert Murdoch a while back. Zinn (on McChesney's Media Matters) said production (w/ Matt Damon and others) would surely go forward at some point but was stalled at that point. (Why do I think Murdoch bo't the rights in order to supress the production and airing of it???)

  Our neighbor in Indiana is putting on the show. Can we do the same?  

    Bloomington Playwrights Project presents a special production for ArtsWeek 2008, Voices of a People's History of the United States, an inspiring evening of dramatic readings by local actors, activists and authors of the speeches, stories, trials and letters of the people (including Frederick Douglass, Henry Thoreau, Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Eugene Debs, Howard Zinn, and Cindy Sheehan) and the various social movements that have shaped American history. The readings were culled from the acclaimed book of the same name co-edited by Howard Zinn and Anthony Arnove
