Location:Creative Alliance
Time:6:00PM Saturday, November 21st
ACLU of Maryland
Creative Alliance & Red Emma’s present:
"Howard Zinn’s Voices of A People’s History"
Two Shows! 6PM & 8:30PM
Benefits ACLU of Maryland & Voices of A People’s History.
Creative Alliance at The Patterson, 3134 Eastern Avenue, Baltimore
Howard Zinn revolutionized our understanding of America’s history, pulling to the fore the... voices of famous iconoclasts and unknown visionaries. The words of Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, and Tecumseh mesh with those of a little known Spanish priest pleading for the end of slavery in the 1500’s or Cindy Sheehan’s impassioned elegy to her dead son.
Director Luisa Bieri assembles a who’s who of artists and activists from Baltimore:
A veteran activist and revolutionary Marc Steiner hosts his show on WEAA-FM and is founder of the Center for Emerging Media.
Doyenne of Baltimore theater, at age 90 Vivienne Shub continues her acting career which began during the Depression with the Federal Theater Project.
Rafael Alvarez lives in his grandparents' house in Greektown, and has written fiction about Southeast Baltimore and scripts for Homicide and The Wire.
Liz Lerman, founder of the Liz Lerman Dance Exchange has revisioned where dance is presented and who can do it, winning a MacArthur Fellow "genius award" in the process.
Presented internationally, Joyce J. Scott wrestles with stereotypes about race in her visual art and astonishing performances.
Actress Kay Lawal-Muhammad co-founded Womb Work Productions and has seen her socially conscious, at-risk students go on to act on several nationally known television series.
Playwright and actor Bashi Rose creates plays with incarcerated artists in Maryland's prison system and advocates for the release of Eddie Conway.
Naoko Maeshiba's dance and choreography range far - a recent piece examined searing memories of the bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
Joseph Stands With Many sometimes calls himself Joe Stands With Many, as he navigates the world telling the stories of his Cherokee people.
Working in prisons and schools, actress and teacher Sheila Gaskins uses comedy, drama and mediation as an alternative to violence.
Math teacher Dean Pappas (to be invited) helped the Catonsville 9 in their seminal activism, creating the napalm they used to burn draft records in his Baltimore basement.
Spoken word goddess Olu Butterfly is a brilliant performer and poet who has taught for years in Baltimore City Schools.
Actor Fernando Romero is a DC native of Salvadorean descent and member of the Young Playwrights Theatre.
David Mitchell is artistic director of Run of the Mill Theater Company.
Koli Tengella debunks corrupt power with his comedy and helps his students find their center in his acting classes.
$23 general admission, $20 for Creative Alliance members. Advance tickets suggested. 410-276-1651 http://www.creativealliance.org Read More
