I had sent this message to you in March. I have never heard back from anyone at your theater about Voices in Conflict. After I wrote this diary, it got picked up by Firedoglake.com, and went international.

I waited and waited. Fortunately, others read it, and they have now been asked to perform in Russia. They have been on Channel 8, and on ABC World News.

Here's a video of them Making the Big Time

You should be ashamed.

My original humble diary

The MyLeftNutmeg.com community would like to help support this group of students.

Could you, or would you know of anyone who could provide a venue?

The theaters that took a chance (4.00 / 2)

The theater is the best place to talk about the largest issues of our times.  It always has been.

Aeschylus talked about the Greeks' war against the Persians.  Shakespeare talked about what gave a King the right to rule.  From the countless adaptations of Uncle Tom's Cabin that played across the United States in the years before the Civil War, to the Federal Theatre Project and the Group Theatre and those audiences roaring to their feet yelling "Strike!, Strike!" at the end of Waiting for Lefty -- to this very theater, where Sticks and Bones and Hair and For Colored Girls stood the city on edge and Larry Kramer's The National Heart tore the hearts out of its audience -- talking about how we live, and die, has always been what the theater does best.

These young people from Wilton, Connecticut are a part of that noble tradition.

We welcome them, honor them, and celebrate their spirit.

-- Oskar Eustis, Artistic Director, The Public Theater

What we saw tonight was the reason to have a theater.
