Dear Friends:
The Trial of the Catonsville Nine is the next show at the Actors’ Gang in Culver City!
The Trial of the Catonsville Nine is the true story of 9 Catholic Activists who entered a Selective Service Office in Catonsville Maryland on May 17, 1968 and removed as many 1-A draft files as they could, took them out to the lawn, poured homemade napalm on them and lit them on fire. They then said the "Our Father" and waited to be arrested. This play, written by Fr. Daniel Berrigan, is about their trial and was first produced at the Mark Taper in 1970.
I’m understudying the Judge in the show and I’m not sure I’ll go up but regardless, if you’re an activist, a Veteran, involved in social justice, a lawyer, part of the Interfaith Community, a citizen who fights injustice, a teacher, a historian, a student, or just plain American, this play explores truth, justice and the necessity of taking action as well as the moral imperative of creative non-violence and civil disobedience.
Before each show we’ll be staging a protest on the corner of Venice & Culver so bring your signs or just show up!!! 6:30pm-7:30pm
(When the trial ran in Oct. 1968 hundreds of people gathered outside the courthouse to protest and show their support.)
There’s also some amazing talk back sp eakers including Ron Kovic, Col. Ann Wright, Elliot Adams. Chuck Robertson and Janet Chisolm. If you want to know the dates for those speakers and many others please shoot me an email.
