Public Works Improvisational Theatre w/ Lee Boek Presents Rosalie Sorrels in Concert Tonight, Saturday, 9/23, 2006
Studio A 2306 Hyperion Ave. LA (Silverlake) 90026 8 pm $12 Rosalie is a National Treasure of Idaho and, let's face it everywhere else. She has been singing all over the country and the world for a number of years and she just gets better as she goes along. She's always a pleasure to have around and a lack of time to do a lot of PR means that we will have an intimate, most enjoyable evening of music and storytelling with one who is renown at both. "This rare performer who can turn a concert into something approaching a heart to heart talk." Mark Bohem LA Times (Orange County) "Rosalie Sorrels sings songs the way you've always hoped they'd be sung" deeply felt, effortlessly, and altogether loverly. She gives your heart ease. Rosalie, The Travelling Lady, is always at home." Studs Terkel WFMT...Chicago "One king-hell songwriter...Rosalie's songs are so close to the bone that I get nervous listening to them." Hunter Thompson *** A memorial celebration for Dorothy Healey will be held at 2 p.m. Sept. 24 at the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, 2936 W. 8th St. Dorothy, a long-time activist in LA, died Aug. 6 in Washington, DC, where she lived in recent years.

Posters on the Myths and Realities of the Immigrant Experience, last displayed in Los Angeles in 1999. CSPG is asking artists, organizations and activists for poster donations to renovate this exhibition and help it circulate in Los Angeles as soon as possible. "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free..." The disparity between the eloquent promise on the Statue of Liberty and the increasing attacks directed against immigrants is enormous. Whether against the Irish or Chinese in the nineteenth century, the Japanese interned in the 1940s, or Mexicans, Central Americans and Middle Easterners now, discrimination based on race, class, language, and culture has unfortunately been consistent. The 21st century now brings us both legal attempts to criminalize immigrants-in HR 4437, and vigilante attempts to thwart and punish-as with the Minute Men. But we have also recently seen the largest demonstrations in U.S. history, as millions of immigrants and their supporters have taken to the streets to show solidarity. No Human Being is Illegal is an exhibition about discrimination and prejudice, but it is also about hope, commitment and determination. It is reclaiming the power of art to communicate and inspire people to act to make a difference. Criteria for posters CSPG collects: 1). It must be produced in multiples such as silkscreen, offset, stencil, litho, digital output etc. 2). The poster must have overt political content. If you would like to to donate posters, please contact: Center for the Study of Political Graphics 8124 West Third Street, Suite 211 Los Angeles, CA 90048-4039 tel: 323.653.4662 . fax: 323.653.6991 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] With more than 50,000 posters, the Center for the Study of Political Graphics has the largest collection of post World War II posters in the U.S. Through traveling exhibitions, online photo albums, internships, and volunteer opportunities, CSPG is reclaiming the power of art to educate, agitate and inspire action. *** The Second Annual "Museums Free-For-All" Free Admission Day: October 1, 2006 Twenty museums - presenting art, cultural heritage, natural history, and science - will open their doors wide and invite visitors free of charge* for the second annual 'Museums Free-For-All'.
