The Living Theater, 40 Years Later, at Yale -- Where They Were Arrested http://blogs.courant.com/curtain/2009/09/the-living-theater-40-years-la.html
By Frank Rizzo September 2, 2009 In September, 1968 The Living Theatre came to New Haven on the first stop of its national tour, fresh from a self-imposed exile, and gave a now-legendary performance of "Paradise Now" (above) at New Haven's then-new Yale Repertory Theatre, headed by Robert Brustein. It ended in the arrest of 10 performers and audience members for public indecency, inckluding theater leaders Julian Beck and Judith Malina. Now 41 years later, Judith Malina (left) will be joined by general manager and archivist Thomas S. Walker and administrative director Brad Burgess for a series of classes and workshops with Yale School of Drama students. There will also be a free public screening of "Signals Through the Flames" and "Resist!", documentaries about the work of The Living Theatre, which was founded in 1947. The screenings will be held at the Rep, 1120 Chapel St. on Sept, 14 and 15 at 7:30 p.m. The screenings will be followed by discussions and book signings with Malina, Walker and Burgess. The Living Theatre's archives are now housed at Yale's Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library. . --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sixties-L" group.
