BACK OF THE THROAT   Theater Party
Sunday matinee,  4 P.M., 21 May, 2006
Silk Road Theatre, Chicago Temple (First United Methodist Church)
77 W. Washington St.    (lower level theatre, Pierce Hall)

The midwest premiere of a play, by Yussef el Guindi, which depicts a chilling visit to an Arab-American man by federal investigators; the "meeting"  becomes a full-fledged investigation of "terrorist" ties.

The play examines how notions of cultural "otherness" (including the pronunciation of Arabic at "the back of the throat") affect the relationship between accusers and accused.

The Chicago Committee to Defend the Bill Of Rights (CCDBR) has fought for 42 years against government encroachment on our constitutional rights in all its forms. CCDBR began as part of the struggle to disband the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities (HUAC), played a major role in the opposition to Chicago Police "Red Squad" spying in the seventies, and most recently, helped facilitate the passage of the Chicago City Council Resolution against The Patriot Act.

The Bill of Rights Foundation (BORF) is a 501(c)3, not-for-profit foundation that supports the struggle against all activities that threaten the freedoms guaranteed in our Bill of Rights.
