Free interactive theater, "My Name is Rachel Corrie," Friday January 18

[Andrea Whitmore]

A message from friend and fellow activist Philip Rhoads, presenting an event at Rainbow Mennonite Church, 1444 Southwest Boulevard, Kansas City, Kansas, USA:

Is Rainbow ready for Interactive Theatre? Well, it is coming soon to our sanctuary! My Name is Rachel Corrie (excerpts, with comments and discussion between) will be performed by Reneé Reimer, Bethel College senior, at Rainbow on Friday evening, January 18th, 7 PM. Reneé is the daughter of two Mennonite pastors, and has traveled to Israel-Palestine. She is an inspiring young woman, and wants to engage Rainbow and the wider Kansas City community with theatre and conversation. Here is some background reading in preparation for this inspiring/depressing/controversial event:
