This Thursday night at 8pm EST, we are joining forces again with WNYC to present a new, live show: Theater of War - On the Radio. Actors Julianne Moore, Sam Waterston and Daphne Rubin-Vega will be performing two pieces on the air: an article entitled “ICE’s Assault on a Minnesota School District,” written by Jessica Winter for The New Yorker, and Judge Fred Biery’s recent judicial opinion ordering the the immediate release of five-year-old Liam Ramos and his father from a detention facility in Texas. These texts will start a conversation with live call-in radio listeners about ICE and its impact on our schools and our children.
Tune in on Thursday, February 19, at 8pm EST on WNYC 93.9 FM or on WNYC.org to catch the live broadcast!

Addiction & Substance AbuseThe Dionysus ProjectThe Dionysus Project is an innovative public health project that presents readings of scenes from Euripides' Bacchae, an ancient Greek play about the destructive power of intoxication, as a catalyst for town hall discussions about the impact of substance abuse and addiction upon individuals, families, and communities. The project uses an ancient Greek tragedy, written nearly 2500 years ago, to engage audiences in crucial discussions about the timelessness of the human struggle with substance abuse and addiction, as well as resources and solutions that communities can utilize today.
