Lark Theatre and THAW presents "Let It Be Me"...

Greetings TAML members,

The Lark Theatre Company in association with Theaters Against War (THAW) presents, "LET IT BE ME" written and performed by Olivia Jane Greer. Musical direction by Ross Patterson. The Lark Theatre Company is organizing an evening of performance in support of peace. The evening will feature emerging performers who are working on new material.

Olivia Jane Greer will perform songs from her recent show "Let It Be Me", which raises questions young people are asking every day and have few sources of answers for. This production is inspired by, and employs the work of women songwriters including Aunt
Molly Jackson, Linda Allen, Holly Near, Billie Holiday, Joan Baez, Joan Armatrading, Joni Mitchell, Jonatha Brooke, Tori Amos, Dar Williams and Ani DiFranco. The show charts the rich portfolio of songs by women alongside the tradition of activism in this country, told through a complex and loving relationship with both.

THAW is a group of New York based theater artists alarmed by the threat of war in Iraq and escalating attacks on civil liberties here at home. We got together to discuss what we, as members of the theater community, might do in response - how we might stop feeling isolated, discouraged, and afraid. It occurred to us that the most truthful and direct response was
to use what we already do - lots and lots of different kinds of theater.

Information about THAW and more pro-peace performance events are available from the following weblink:
