> I was interested in contacting you about the possibility of doing a  
> benefit performance of Howard Zinn's, one man show, "Marx in Soho"  
> for your organization. I am not sure if you are familiar with  
> Howard Zinn's works. He is most known for his book, A People's  
> History, offering an alternative and enlightening perspective of  
> American history. The play "Marx in Soho," focuses on Karl Marx,  
> giving the audience an intimate encounter with Marx the man and his  
> theories. You can find out more about the play at www.levyarts.com  
> <http://www.levyarts.com>
>
> Jerry Levy, who plays Karl Marx in the play, will be touring the  
> U.S.A beginning June and we are looking to fill in our itinerary  
> with additional performances. Jerry Levy comes to the stage with  
> years of experience as an actor and director in addition to being a  
> professor of sociology at Marlboro College in Vermont.  
> www.marlboro.edu <http://www.marlboro.edu/> Since his first  
> performance of “Marx In Soho” nearly two years ago, he has  
> performed Zinn's play in Cafés, Theaters, and classrooms across the  
> United State, Canada, and Europe! (http://www.levyarts.com/html/ 
> schedule.html to see our previous performances) The show has been  
> such a huge success; Jerry has been encouraged to have as many  
> people see it as possible. The play humanizes Marx but also sets  
> the stage for stimulating dialogue about the relevance of his  
> theories today, making it a rewarding and entertaining experience.
>
> What is expected of you? As we are donating the performance to you,  
> we would expect that you will work hard to promote the show and  
> give Jerry Levy a full house to perform for! We also expect that  
> you will find a venue for the performance and secure it. Often  
> times as this is a benefit performance, local performance venues  
> are more than willing to help out as well.
>
> How large is this production? What kind of space will we need?  
> Check out our http://www.levyarts.com/html/booking_info.html for  
> more info on the shows sound and stage requirements and you will  
> see that this one-man show is extremely flexible and lends itself  
> to venues both big and small.
>
> If you're interested at all in holding a benefit performance for  
> your organization, let me know. While right now we are looking to  
> book the performance as a benefit for socially conscious causes, we  
> welcome any other ideas you might have.
>
> Hope to hear from you soon and feel free to pass this on to any and  
> all
> interested parties.
