THEATRE FOR PEACE!

Regardless of whatever large-scale effect this could have (not much, probably), I still think this is pretty cool

On Monday, March 3rd, 2003, the first-ever world-wide theatrical event for peace will happen in a city near you. Don't miss this unique opportunity to stand up for peace in your community, and provide a humorous entree into a healthy dialogue about current affairs. Attend or help plan a reading of Lysistrata, Aristophanes' anti-war comedy, to protest the rush to war on Iraq. Many of the readings will benefit non-profit organizations working for peace and humanitarian aid in Iraq.

Gorgeous. And in response, the conservatives give us . . . Dennis Miller and Toby Keith. Good work, boys.

But where oh wehere can you see this being put on? Just about everywhere! For my localities, you can check it out in Berkeley up at the Claremont, all over the place in the LA area (meaning, I'll convince my sister to go), and in downtown Santa Barbara. In all, 871 readings in 56 countries. Check it out!
