THE LINE UP!:
-Bread and Puppet Theater is coming with their newest show... about the Occupy movement! One of the oldest activist street theater troupes in the country, Bread and Puppet can make you laugh, make you cry, and make you want to occupy!
-The Occupy Wall Street Puppetry Guild lends us the fabulous puppeteer and musician Jo Robin, who will bring a paper circus of economic proportions!
-Puppet Underground will present a new show about a local organizing struggle to make housing a human right. The show will take us from a look into the past through to the present and into the possibilities of the future!
-The Shadow Senators will be performing a song and cranky show!
-Quique Aviles brings us a performance from his one-man show "Los Treinta"!
-Zein Elamine will share his poetry about DC!
We are looking for volunteers to bake pies and to usher! If you're interested in doing either, contact Janelle at:janellevyn@gmail.com
