March 19, 2006: Reflection, Outrage and Art
For the third anniversary of the Iraq War, Theaters Against War returns to the site of its first Town Hall, PS 122, and invites our long list of member theaters to offer up a piece of work from the last three years that speaks to the sense of outrage at a war that never should have been and the US’ continuing assault on civil liberties in the US and around the globe.
THAW Member Theaters and individual theater artists gather to share short excerpts of pro-peace performance from the last three years. Confirmed participants include: Kathleen Chalfant and Liz Magnes, Tony Award-winner Denis O’Hare, playwrights Kia Corthron, Karen Malpede, David Meth with Farah Bala, Howard Pflanzer, and the work of Caridad Svich, Anthony Arnove (co-editor with Howard Zinn of The Voices of the People’s History of the United States), singer/songwriters Alec Duffy, Jamie Smith, Amy Clarke, composer Milos Raickovich with Dalia Bisiouny, performers DADAny with Lissa Moira, Emmy Bean, Michael Schwartz, Jay Smith, David Cote, Okwui Okpokwasili, the Missile Dick Chicks and Paul Pierog and youth theater from the Creative Arts Team (CAT). Rounding out the program are an extended portion of Fountain Theater and Eliot Weinberger’s What I Heard About Iraq* and an excerpt from the Pumpkin Pie Show’s new production, junta high**, now playing at Performance Space 122.
With the threat of Iraq descending into a full-scale civil war and the growing and clandestine reach of the Executive branch into citizens’ lives, THAW’s core issues of resisting this Administration’s policies at home and abroad are more urgent than ever.
