Description:

What the corporate media and government do not permit, the theatre permits. Join us for a night of dramatic scenes from playwrights Sander Hicks and Richard Squires, as they violate the social taboo around asking questions about the 9/11 attacks.

Hicks' play "Bronze Star" is based on the true story of the life and death of an American whistle-blower. Dr. David Graham met two of the "9/11 hijackers" ten months before 9/11 in his native Shreveport, LA. When he warned the FBI, Congress, and Secret Service, he adamantly refused to change his story. He died of a mysterious poisoning, on the verge of publishing his story. "Bronze Star" explores the tragic place where history, faith, government, conspiracy and cover-up intersect, just outside of the Barksdale Air Force Base.

“A Blanket of Dust”, by Richard Squires, tells the story of Diana Crane. Born the daughter of a US Senator, Crane husband dies in the World Trade Center. This is the story of a courageous widow who faces the truth about 9/11, despite the blanket of denial from her family, government and media. Crane gathers a community group to oppose "state crimes against democracy," whose perpetrators stand at the highest levels of power in society. It's an inspiring story about the indomitable will of the people.


ALL STAR CAST!

The cast for our reading includes a number of nationally-known and notable actors including Marc Duret, star of La Femme Nikita; Brandy Burre, star of The Wire; Thomas Hildreth, star of Child of Grace; and Lynn Cohen, star of The Hunger Games.


Dr. Mark Crispin Miller, acclaimed author and professor at the NYU Media Studies department, will conclude the evening, with improvised remarks. Dr. Miller will help mediate a group discussion and Q&A.
