Honoring Howard Zinn Dec. 4 SUNY New Paltz – meet 2PM at the Quad for puppet parade and shows preceding 4PM Chomsky/Arnov presentation Lecture Center 100

UPDATE
Call for participants: NO PUPPETRY EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!

FREE Activist Puppet Workshops at SUNY New Paltz SUB 401-405 December 1-2. Join Redwing Blackbird Theater in making a parade and puppet shows based on Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States. Performances will coincide with Noam Chomsky’s visit to SUNY New Paltz on December 4, 2011. Because Howard Zinn’s writing predicts and analyzes the conditions leading up to the national and global Occupy Wall Street movement, we’ll be making connections to current events, as well.
