Hi all, I'm interested in helping these folks come to Vermont. This seems like a good follow-up to the town meeting that happed at the library in December. I've talked with two of the performers, and they say they've had success reaching a diverstiy of communities. Please read on for a description of the event. I'm assuming VTJP funds are mostly reserved for bringing the art show. Would we be able to contribute a small amount along with other organizations? They are interested in a theater space with lighting. I'm thinking of Champlain College's theater or the Royal Tyler at UVM.
Hilary Hello there. My name is Ray Young. I am a member of Liberty Cabbage Theatre Revival and Iïm writing to you because I think youïll be interested in our show that is touring to Colleges and Universities this spring. "An Olive on the Seder Plate" is a Multi-media Performance exploring how progressive Jews wrestle with the Israeli military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza strip. While the politics expressed challenge the policies behind the occupation, the show consistently approaches the issues from multiple perspectives, and addresses Jewish concerns of anti-Semitism as well as Jewsï desire for a sense of Home. After an incredibly successful tour this past autumn, and a sold-out run in Philadelphia last spring, weïve decided to take the show on tour again. This spring An Olive on the Seder Plate, and our accompanying workshop, will be on tour throughout the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest. We want to give you the opportunity to bring the performance to your campus. Our tour is currently being scheduled for March through Mid-April of 2005. We are asking for a student group or groups to host the play for a sliding scale fee of $1,000-$3,000. (other amounts are negotiable, but this fee offsets the cost of travel and equipment.) The performance is then FREE for students, faculty, staff, and community members. Following each performance, we will also facilitate a group discussion relating to content from the show, audience membersï responses, and activity around the conflict in your local area. Also, if schedules are permitting, we can facilitate a more in-depth workshop with students. We would love to talk with you about the possibility of adding your campus to our tour schedule. If you would like more information or are interested in booking a show, please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] Don't miss this rare opportunity to bring a multi-media performance about Israel and Palestine to your campus! Thanks for your interest. Ray Young.

While the politics expressed challenge the policies behind the occupation, the show consistently approaches the issues from multiple perspectives, and addresses Jewish concerns of anti-Semitism as well as Jewsï desire for a sense of Home. "An Olive on the Seder Plate" is a collaboration between over a dozen Jewish musicians, performers, artists and activists in the Philadelphia area. Content of the show is discussed on an on-going basis with leading Palestinian and Jewish peace activists. As the Liberty Cabbage Theatre Revival has demonstrated in the past, performance art provides a (literal) stage for discussion of complex and difficult topics. This show is a creative, innovative, and much-needed contribution to on-going peace and social justice work in the United States and throughout the world. www.libertycabbage.org ------------------------ Yahoo!
