    By Molly Smith Metzler Directed by M. Bevin O’Gara A production of the Kitchen Theatre, Ithaca MARCH 4 – 22, 2020 The Fielding Studio Series is supported in part by Associate Producer: Media Sponsor: 1 2 ABOUT GEVA THEATRE CENTER Geva Theatre Center is your not-for-profit theatre company dedicated to creating and producing professional theatre productions, programs and services of a national standard. As Rochester’s flagship professional theatre, Geva is the most attended regional theatre in New York State, and one of the 25 most subscribed in the country, serving up to 160,000 patrons annually, including 20,000 students. Founded in 1972 by William Selden and Cynthia Mason Selden, Geva was originally housed in the Rochester Business Institute building on South Clinton Avenue. In 1982, Geva purchased and converted its current space – formerly a NYS Arsenal designed by noted Rochester architect Andrew J Warner and built in 1868 – and opened its new home at the Richard Pine Theatre in March 1985. Geva operates two venues – the 516-seat Elaine P. Wilson Stage and the 180-seat Ron & Donna Fielding Stage. As one of the country’s leading theatre companies and a member of the national League of Resident Theatres, Geva produces a varied contemporary repertoire from musicals to world premieres celebrating the rich tapestry of our diverse community. We draw upon the talents of some of the country’s top actors, directors, designers and writers who are shaping the American Theatre scene. Geva’s education programs serve 20,000 students annually through student matinees, in-school workshops, theatre tours, career day, the acclaimed Summer Academy training program, and opportunities such as the Stage Door Project, which pairs a local school with a production in the Geva season giving students an exclusive look into the entire process of producing a show.

  • Columbia ’68: What Happened?
    Columbia ’68: What Happened? Theo Sweeting (University of Nottingham) Finally, what long range goal is worthy of this rebellion? Obviously the question is not whether to work for revolution – armed, communist revolution – in America, but how, and what form it will take – John Jacobs, May 1968 1 John Jacobs sat down to type this statement, part of his revolutionary manifesto for the University of Columbia protests of 1968, ‘Bringing the War Home.’ But even a man so enraptured by the inevitability of revolutionary change as Jacobs could probably not have predicted that more than 40 years later the chain of events this document helped catalyse would be remembered as a defining moment for the American New Left in the 1960s, particularly in organisational histories of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). Jacobs signed this document from his position as a member of the occupations of Low Library and Mathematics hall on the Columbia campus. In the wake of Tom Hayden’s famous call to create “two, three, many Columbias” across global campuses, Jacob’s words took on a prophetic tone in the immediate aftermath of the Columbia protests, when students from the Sorbonne in Paris sent the Strike Coordinating Committee (SCC), a telegram: “We’ve occupied a building in your honor. What do we do now?” 2 Jacob’s plan unfolded further when he and fellow Columbia SDS militants Mark Rudd and Ted Gold helped found the 1 John Jacobs, ‘Bringing the War Home’, May 1968; UPAC, Box 13, Folder 5, 1 2 Tom Hayden, ‘Two, Three, Many Columbias’, Ramparts, June 15, 1968.

  • Public Comment
    To the Department of Labor: Millions of Americans are counting on their 401(k)s and retirement accounts, and many depend on investment professionals for guidance in managing these complex plans. We should be able to trust our financial advisers to put our interests first. But the current rules make it easy for unscrupulous advisers to line their own pockets at our expense. It's time to close this loophole and insist that the professionals who present themselves as honest retirement advisers actually give honest advice, instead of a sales pitch disguised as advice. It's difficult enough to save for retirement without having to contend with advisers who put their interests ahead of ours. I'm counting on you to close this loophole now.

Though the name stands for "Counterintelligence Program," the targets were not enemy spies. The FBI set out to eliminate "radical" political opposition inside the US. When traditional modes of repression (exposure, blatant harassment, and prosecution for political crimes) failed to counter the growing insurgency, and even helped to fuel it, the Bureau took the law into its own hands and secretly used fraud and force to sabotage constitutionally - protected political activity. Its methods ranged far beyond surveillance, and amounted to a domestic version of the covert action for which the CIA has become infamous throughout the world.

  • Progressive Movement Just As the End of the Cold War Opened Up
    Progressive Movement Just as the end of the Cold War opened up divisions among conservatives, it should serve to heal them among progressives. The post-Cold War world offers the prospect of a new coalition of liberalism and the Left, which have had little fruitful collaboration since the Progressive Party movement of 1948 drove a wedge between them. William F. Buckley used anti-communism to hold together a "fusionist" coalition among the conflicting branches of conservatism in the 1950s, but the demise of Communism (which has split conservatism into feuding factions again) now offers the opportunity for a progressive "fusion" at the junction of liberalism and the Left -- reviving the grand tradition of populism, progressivism, democratic socialism, and New Deal reforms. The components of this progressive fusion remain to be formulated, but would likely include a full employment economy that competes with Japan and Europe in the world market, a defense of social justice and human rights in the fullest sense, a new system of global security based on international institutions for conflict resolution, and global environmental protection with sustainable economic growth for developing countries. In the 1930s President Franklin D. Roosevelt knitted together the New Deal coalition of labor, liberals, big city machines that mobilized working class white ethnic groups, urban blacks in the North, and lower and middle income Southern whites. Without explicitly saying so, the New Deal incorporated much of the reform spirit and program of earlier populist, progressive, and socialist movements. The coalition held together through Harry Truman's Fair Deal and eight years of Dwight Eisenhower's "Modern Republicanism" (which accepted the New Deal reforms as a given) to John F.

The group had two primary goals: to kill "cops" (then seize control of their communities and liberate black people from repression) and to expropriate funds from the capitalists' and imperialists (financing the revolution and taking back the wealth robbed from blacks through slave labor).
