prisoners at a letter writing station!
...One year after...
December 7, 2006 is the one-year anniversary of the FBI's first arrests
in "Operation Backfire," a multi-state sweep targeting radical
environmental activists with charges of conspiracy and arson,
threatening them with life in prison. Join us for this weekend of
solidarity with those targeted by the http://www.GreenScare.org
Green Scare – a term that refers to the current systematic
criminalization of dissent,
reminiscent of the Red Scares of the early twentieth century.
...Proceeds from the show go to benefit the legal funds for our two local
targets of the Green Scare, Daniel McGowan and Andy
Stepanian. More info at:

RHAMNOUSIA
Thur-Sat, December 7-9 at 8pm. WOW Cafe Theater
...For one weekend only, four maverick women take the historic stage
at WOW Cafe Theater. Performing their original work, each artist
brings years of experience to her craft, offering the lover of women's
theater a smorgasbord of soul food goodness. Don't miss this
amazing line up..
..."An Hour of Fun with Mona," veteran playwright Bina Sharif's
latest one-woman piece, is a hilarious romp onstage with Mona, the
stand-up comedian. Known for her sharp wit and innate ability to
connect with her audience, Sharif helps us
laugh at ourselves and at our world.
...Deirdre Boddie-Henderson's commanding stage presence sets "Not
Alone?" on fire. This narrative of the consequences of unrecognized
love and social ignorance weaves theater, dance and song into a
micro-saga whose hero is courage – the courage to overcome the
challenge of a blind society and fight on.
..."Ecstasy of the Blank Page & Opening Heart," with roots in the
farmlands of Louisiana and the urban environments of New Orleans,
Los Angeles, & New York City, eclectic bassist, guitarist, and
singer-songwriter Tara Thierry invokes fierce authenticity with a
voice like dark velvet.
..."A Want for Want" draws on Chris Ford's twenty years of
experience as a philosophy teacher and psychotherapist. With a mix of fresh
humor, social taboo and deep knowledge of the subject, Ford paints
a striking picture of human desire and explains what happens when
it disappears.
...December 7, 8, 9 at 8pm. WOW Cafe Theater, 59 East 4th Street,
between Bowery and 2nd Avenue. $15 at the door. Reserve at
rhamnousia@wowcafe.org or 212-777-4280. F or V Train to 2nd Ave.,
