Subject: Rachel Corey opens tonight!


Hey everyone.

We are opening Rachel Corrie tonight. It's been a tough road. We have been
getting constant calls and threats of picketing and loss of patrons but the
board has stood firm.

We will be having a talk back night on Thursday October, 15. I know that the
Jewish community is planning on having some people there as well as putting
some literature in the lobby. I am hoping to find someone who knows the
other side of the conflict to come as well. We would like to have some
literature that represents the Palestinian side as well. If anyone knows of
any campus groups that I could contact please email or call me. I don't
really know the university system enough to know where to find RSO's.

Thanks,

Wesley Huff

Based on the life and writings of Rachel Corrie, a young American artist and
activist, this one-person play follows Corrie from her home in Olympia,
Washington to the center of the Israeli/Palestinian Conflict. Corrie, who
was only twenty-three at the time of her death, traveled to Gaza as part of
a pro-Palestinian peace movement. Her letters, journal entries, and e-mails
to family and friends are at the heart of this powerful drama, which
showcases her search for meaning and purpose in a time of great turmoil.

On Thursday, October 15, there will be a special "Talk-Back" session
following the performance. We encourage participation and discussion, and we
hope to see you at the show.
