  "The main thing is that the rebellion start off by despising make-believe.  If we behave like the other side, then we are on the other side.  Instead of changing the world, all we'll achieve is a reflection of the one we want to destroy." 
-- Jean Genet

sUBVERsIVE sHORTs:
a nightly showcase of four short new plays by playwrights from all across America who hate George W. Bush


Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8pm
at Rust Belt Books (202 Allen Street)
November 3rd - 19th
(no performance Friday, Nov. 11th)
Admission Free/Donations Welcome!

    Over the last few years there has been a tidal wave of new plays written -- all across America -- that speak out against the Patriot Act, the War on Terror, the decimation of civil rights, and all the other atrocities of the Bush regime.  With so much coming out all out once, it's next to impossible to stay on top of it all.    
    That's why we decided to produce "sUBVERsIVE sHORTs" -- to give audiences a chance to sample some of the many new examples of protest theatre emerging from the West Coast, East Coast, and Midwest.
    "sUBVERsIVE sHORTs" is a nightly performance of four different vignettes: "PATRIOT ACT" by Charles A. Duncombe of the City Garage Theatre of Santa Monica, CA, "HAS THE WHOLE WORLD GONE CRAZY?" by Elizabeth Emmons of the Blue Box Theatre of New York City, "REDUNDANCY" by Minneapolis poet/playwright Mark Nowak, and "GEORGE" by poet/playwright Michael Fanelli from right here in Buffalo.
    This production features the acting talents of Peter Jaskowiak, Diane M. Cammarata, Joe Weins, Theresa Baker*, Jamie Todd Hamilton*, Sarah Orloff*, Donald Gallo, Jeannine Giffear, Joy Scime, and others.
    We hope you'll join us for this rare opportunity to taste from the vast smorgasbord of modern day American protest theatre!
