Hello all Oakland '46ers and interested folks! Only two (!) more weeks until the performance, and here's an update on our general strike-related activities:We had a great first art-making party last week, and picket signs are plentiful for you when you come to the show. In other news: the trolley set is beginning to take shape; the design for posters and flyers is being finalized; outreach and fundraising with local organizations is in full swing; and we're starting to eye 1940s-style clothes when we pass by our local thrift stores and wish for no rain that weekend (although we also wish for lots of rain on other weekends, because there's a drought on). The core performers are practicing on site this week - Monday, 11/24 at 6pm at Latham Square. Stop on by if you want to be an extra. Because...
We still need people to participate as "ensemble" members. This consists mostly of participating in picket lines, assisting the audience in following the action, and doing things like dancing and chanting during the show. Ideally, we would want you at both performances, but realistically ... if you can only make one show, we still welcome your participation.
If this sounds good to you, and you can make it to the dress rehearsals listed below, please do!
If this sounds good to you, and you cannot make it to the dress rehearsals listed below, please just come to the show and chime in anyway!
Either way, drop us a line at
And if you are interested in helping out with poster and flyer distribution, let us know!
Heck, drop us a line anyway, and tell us you're on board for our wild experiment in theater, activism, history, and fun....
