I just got back from seeing the current production at The Actor's Gang and highly recommend it. Although its not as star studded as this reading, it is so worth seeing. And incredibly relevant, in my opinion, at this time.

My father was Tom Lewis, one of the Catonsville Nine, and i think that it is amazing that they have turned the actions of the Catonsville Nine into a play.

Martin Sheen's comment that there are more people today against the current war were against the Vietnam War, but fewer of us protesting, is a grave concern. Another actor, much younger than Sheen, said perhaps it has to do wth desensitization by television, shopping, and capitalism. Food for thought. And for action. (I'm with Sheen on the nonviolence, and on its power.)
