BREAD AND PUPPET THEATER'S
FIRST WORLD INSURRECTION IN CAMBRIDGE

A POST-ELECTION RUCKUS PLAYED OUT FROM NOVEMBER 4-21

(Cambridge, MA) The Bread and Puppet Theater presents the First World Insurrection, a post-election ruckus played out in Cambridge, November 4-21. Performances and Symposium held at the Cambridge Family YMCA Theatre / Durrell Hall, 820 Massachusetts Avenue, Central Square, and Art Exhibit installed at the Marran Gallery, Lesley University, Main Quad on Mellen St. (off Mass. Ave.), between Harvard and Porter Squares. Both venues are wheelchair accessible. For advance tickets, on sale from October 18th on, and information on all events call the Cambridge Family
YMCA (www.cambymca.org) at 617-661-9622, extension 706.

Artistic Director Peter Schumann and his band of eight Vermont puppeteers will join forces with 20 local puppeteers and the Cambridge-based Second Line Social Aid and Pleasure Society Brass Band. Their residency in Cambridge includes three puppet shows (a double-bill geared towards adults and one "family-friendly" show), a "Now What" political art symposium, and an exhibit showcasing Schumann's visual artwork. Each of these opportunities will include the traditional serving of Schumann's famous sourdough rye bread (baked in a temporary outdoor oven in the YMCA parking lot), drizzled with garlic-laden aioli, and the sale of the theater's "cheap art." In November, the city of Cambridge will indeed be the stage upon which much artistic discontent is set - with a few laughs thrown in!

Featuring the Bread and Puppet Theater's signature masked characters and giant papier-mache puppets, the individual shows and art exhibit are described below.

WORLD ON FIRE
A group of National Emergency Clowns demonstrates official reactions to the ultimate emergency. The music is by the Asymmetric Prisoner-of-War Orchestra, consisting of local volunteer performers, and their conductor, the Fire Chief.
HOW TO TURN DISTRESS INTO SUCCESS: A Parable of War and Its Making
With the help of the National More-More-More Society, the Student of Success is taught a lesson: how the transformation of distress into success transforms success. The Population is a child in the arms of Truth. But Truth gets employed by the Executive to ready the Population for war. War is learned in a butcher's shop. The dance of the Collateral Damage Dancers concludes the lesson. The puppets are from cardboard; the music is live and includes an ancient Georgian chant.
UPSIDE DOWN WORLD CIRCUS
The circus features upside-down figures, a group of First World representatives trained by a lion, Thomas Jefferson and his patriotic cheerleaders, Gerrard Winstanley and his band of Diggers, the Rotten Idea Theater Company's distillation of political issues and much more, all accompanied by the B&P Circus Band. Political fun for the whole family!
THE U.S. SENATE READS AN EMAIL BY THE LATE RACHEL CORRIE TO HER PARENTS
Peter Schumann dedicates this installation to Rachel Corrie who died at the age of 23 in Palestine in 2003 as she tried to stop a bulldozer from destroying a Palestinian home. Her email is dated February 27, 2003.

(Background of the theater) The Bread and Puppet Theater was founded in 1963 on New York City's Lower Eastside by 70-year old Silesian-born sculptor and choreographer, Peter Schumann. In 1969 a nine-month tour of Europe won recognition and critical acclaim for Bread and Puppet. In 1970, the Theater moved to Vermont as theater-in-residence at Goddard College, letting itself be influenced by living in the countryside. Four years later the Theater moved to a farm in Glover in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, where a 100-year-old hay barn was transformed into a museum for veteran puppets. Bread and Puppet Theater does massive spectacles in the U.S., Europe and Latin America. Their pageants have a broad theme-oriented appeal to large non-elite audiences. They address social, political and environmental issues or simply the common urgencies of our lives. Some of the awards received by Peter Schumann and Bread and Puppet are the Obie Award, the Erasmus Award from Amsterdam, the Vermont Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts, UNIMA-USA's Citation of Excellence and the Puppeteers of America President's Award. Bread and Puppet is one of the oldest non-profit, self-supporting theater companies in the United States.

VOTING IRREGULARITIES 2004: WAS THE ELECTION STOLEN?

SPEAKERS:
Jonathan Simon (Alliance for Democracy)
Mr. Simon was able to download the raw exit poll data for 47 states from the National Election Pool (Edison/Mitofsky). It is these data
that raise questions about whether the Republicans stole the 2004 election in the swing states. Mr. Simon will discuss the implications of
his data, as well as other voting irregularities in the 2004 Presidential election. He will also lead a discussion about what to do about
these voting irregularities.

Williams Rivers Pitt, founder of and contributor to truthout.org.
Mr. Pitt has been an articulate and outspoken critique of the Bush Administration, and will lead a discussion of what to do now.

DISCUSSION:
What steps do we need to do immediately to address whether the 2004 election was stolen. What steps do we need to take to make sure that
every vote counts in the future (verified voting, non-partisam election officials, etc.) Who should we be supporting (including with our
pocketbook), and how?

Roads and Airports - Gathering

More traffic growth?  More roads?  Airport Expansion?
You must be choking!
It's time to take action.

Labour are backsliding on the victories of the 1990's roads protests, and many road schemes, dropped in the 1990s, are back on the road builder's agenda. Meanwhile the Government is also proposing large-scale airport expansion… and all in the same breath as talking about tackling climate change.

This backslide CAN and WILL be stopped by PEOPLE POWER.
We need to ORGANISE NOW!

- Come to discuss ideas for action and strategy,
- get an idea of the threat and what is planned where,
- network with other campaigners, build alliances.

19th November, from 6pm: introductions
20th November: Roads discussion and action planning day
21st November: Airports discussion and action planning day
21st November from 3pm:  Feedback session for both days

It is essential to book so that we have an idea of numbers for catering and accommodation purposes.  Basic crash space accommodation and vegan food will be available.

Please call: 0845 345 1998 or email gathering-AT-roadalert.org.uk to book a place, or see www.roadalert.org.uk. Please network this event! thanks

3rd Annual Thanksgiving Hunger Awareness Day

On Sunday November 21st, the Church of the Rehabilitation, the First Unitarian Chuch of Rochester, Friends Helping Friends, God’s Holy Outreach Ministry, St. Francis Xavier Church, 104 WDKX and others will join with additional organizations across the state in bringing attention to the hunger and poverty in the greater Rochester area. The Hunger Action Network of NYS (HANNYS) is sponsoring this statewide call for Thanksgiving Awareness of Hunger.

Hunger has been steadily increasing over the past decades, currently over 904,000 New Yorkers must rely on soup kitchens and food panties each week. From September 2002 to September 2003, the Hunger Action Network found a 27% increase in the number of people utilizing food panties and soup kitchens in NYS. Too many New Yorkers are forced to choose between food and other basic needs because they lack good jobs and quality health care. New York State has lost more than 300,000 net jobs since 2001; more than 3 million New Yorkers lack health insurance. Is it any wonder that the number of families relying on emergency food resources is increasing?

Through three weekly distributions, Friends Helping Friends provides approximately 10,000 lbs. of groceries to over five hundred people. We invite the media to join with legislators from our area AT 1:30 PM AT 316 BAY STREET, St. Francis Xavier Church to join in a free banquet and grocery distribution and to better understand the reasons for increasing hunger and homelessness. Friends Helping Friends has just moved its Sunday grocery distribution to St. Francis Xavier Church to provide for a neighborhood without a food cupboard provider. WDKX will be broadcasting live from St. Francis Xavier Church; the 3rd Annual Hunger Awareness Day will feature speakers from various faith communities.

"We as citizens are responsible for taking care of each other. We need to look to ourselves to solve the problems around us, to build a new society in the shell of the old," said Andrew Stankevich, FHF Director. Take a few moments on November 21st to join us at St. Francis Xavier Church at 316 Bay Street to better understand this unacceptable hunger crisis in our own community.

"THE OCCUPATION IS THE REASON"

Noam Bahat
&
Shimri Zamaret

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 21, 2004
7:00 PM
Resource Center for Nonviolence
515 Broadway in Santa Cruz

In September, 2004, 5 Israeli Jewish high school refusniks --prisoners of conscience-- were released from Israeli prison.

"�As a man of conscience I could not take part in the army of oppression."
Noam Bahat(from his testimony)

"I refuse to take part in this moral corruption�. Serving the army will be a treachery upon my future and a treachery upon my children�s future."
Shimri Zamaret (from his testimony)

In September, 2004, 5 Israeli Jewish high school refusniks --prisoners of conscience-- were released from Israeli prison. Noam Bahat after serving 645 days in prison and Shimri Zamaret after 643 days in prison.

Noam and Shimri will speak about the Israeli Occupation of Palestinian lands, the reasons for their refusal to be conscripted into the Israel Defense Forces, and their experience in prison.

A donation will be taken to support the work of the Refuser Solidarity Network.

"When the elected government tramples over democratic values and the chances for a just peace in the region, we have no choice but to obey our conscience and refuse to take part in the attack on the Palestinian people. As youth about to be called to serve in the military, we pledge to do all that we see fit so as not to serve the occupation�"

(From public letter sent to Prime Minister Sharon, signed by 300 draft-age students, Sept. 2002)

"I believe that those who resist participating in the inhuman war of attrition against the Palestinians are the real Israeli patriots�"
Tony Kushner, prize winning playwright

This film examines how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, have been running a "race to the bottom" in television news. This film provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the dangers of ever-enlarging corporations taking control of the public's right to know. This documentary also reveals the secrets of Former Fox news producers, reporters, bookers and writers who expose what it's like to work for Fox News. www.outfoxed.org

Sunday, October 24th – “The Corporation”
This complex and highly entertaining documentary examines the far-reaching repercussions of the corporation’s increasing preeminence. Based on Joel Bakan’s book The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power, the film is a timely, critical inquiry that invites CEOs, whistle-blowers, brokers, gurus, spies, players, pawns and pundits on a graphic and engaging quest to reveal the corporation’s inner workings, curious history, controversial impacts and possible futures. Featuring illuminating interviews with Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, Howard Zinn and many others.

Sunday, November 7th – “The 4th World War”
A film from the front-lines of conflicts in Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, Palestine, Korea, 'the North' from Seattle to Genova, and the 'War on Terror' in New York, Afghanistan, and Iraq. It is the story of men and women around the world who resist being annihilated in this war. www.bignoisefilms.com

Sunday, November 21st – “The Miami Model”
In November 2003, trade ministers from 34 countries met in Miami, Florida, to negotiate the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). To show their opposition to the FTAA, thousands of union members, environmentalists, and human rights activists also gathered in Miami. What happened there was a disturbing example of the state of free speech under a wartime president. Protestors were attacked with rubber bullets, pepper spray, electric tazer guns, and shock batons, all coordinated by the new United States Department of Homeland Security, and paid for by an $8.5 million line item within the $87 billion appropriation for the Iraq war. THE MIAMI MODEL also showcases the issues that drove the protestors to Miami, and the alternative models of grassroots resistance, creative action sustainable development, and solidarity that they came to promote. www.ftaaimc.org/miamimodel

Pioneer Valley Vigil for Peace and Justice

The Sunday vigil was begun by local "Parents and Grandparents for Peace" on July 14, 1979, under the street-wide banner: "TOWARD GLOBAL NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT AND A VERIFIABLE US-USSR MORATORIUM ON NUCLEAR TESTING." The vigil has met every Sunday since, from 12 noon to 1 p.m., barring a couple of impossible blizzards. It has passed out thousands of leaflets on a great variety of issues under the slogan, "If You Want Peace, Work for Justice," and participants have varied from a dozen or so die-hard activists to fifty and more during the Gulf War.
