Evenings of Documentary Theatre, Storytelling and Dialogue. Members of
Unconditional Theatre visited Crawford, TX, where we interviewed people on all sides
of last summer's anti-war protests. We found some very surprising activists,
and many of them are gathered in Crawford for the anniversary right now! So if
you can't travel all the way out there, come hear their stories at one of our
upcoming events. Part play-reading & part discussion, these events are a
wonderful way to make contact with the current voices of change -- including your
own.

Imagine a nation where religious fervor runs hot, and faith rhetoric runs
hotter. Where belief has replaced reason, and where Liberty and Justice play a
broken second fiddle to an all powerful, omniscient and omnipresent
military-industrial God complex. That's the nation Reverend C.B. De Love wants. And that's
also the nation where shy civics teacher Angela Franklin finds herself. But
in her struggle to stop the coming Theocracy will Angela go too far? In her
zeal to destroy the opiate of the masses, will she make a religion out of her
anti-religion, and join the ranks of the Gangsters for God? Or will she see the
folly of blind faith in anything - even the Constitution - and return to
Reason?
