[NEohioPAL] Great Lakes Theater Festival FREE performance at LCCC This Wednesday!

[Jeremy Benjamin]

On this Wednesday, March 19 at 7:30pm, Lorain County Community College¹s
Department of Theatre proudly hosts the Great Lakes Theater Festival¹s
SEEING RED in its Stocker Arts Center¹s Studio Theatre.

FREE, and open to the public, SEEING RED dramatizes actual testimony of
Ronald Regan, Hallie Flanagan, Paul Robeson and Arthur Miller before the
United States House Committee on Un-American Activities, formed in 1934 to
³investigate Nazi propaganda and certain other propaganda activities.²
Abolished in 1975, this Committee subpoenaed American citizens to appear and
testify before it, and pressured them to name names of purported communists,
under threat of ³blacklisting.²
 
SEEING RED, written by GLTF Director of Education Daniel Hahn and directed
by GLTF Associate Artistic Director, Andrew May, explores the question of,
³what happens when government oversteps the bounds of its power and
infringes upon the rights of citizens?²  This seventy-minute program,
including post-performance discussion, is being produced and presented in
support of the Festival¹s forthcoming mainstage production of Arthur
Miller¹s THE CRUCIBLE, which he wrote as an allegory for these HUAC
Congressional ³witch-hunting² hearings of the Œ40¹s.
 
SEEING RED is recommended for ages junior high and older.  Lorain County
Community College is located at 1005 N. Abbe Road, Elyria.  Bring older
children;  bring friends; bring neighbors to experience this important
theater piece.  Seating is limited.  Call 440-366-7120 with questions.
