 OTHER WORLDS:
CROP CIRCLES 2010
slide show and open discussion.
Brilliant artwork? Ingenious symbolism? Multidimensional non-verbal-communication from another "world"?
All of the above?
Those of us who rely on the mainstream media to keep us informed, sadly have no idea what the Crop Circle subject is about. Over several decades, many eye-witnesses to the events describe the total time for the glyph to form as approximately 4 to 7 seconds. The plants are rapidly heated and "zapped" by electromagnetic energy, as revealed in laboratory tests of the plants in the formations.
Tonight we will see aerial views and ground views of the 60 or so formations that have appeared in this current "season" of the last few months.
We will also see the only existing video of an actual Crop Circle being formed (shot in 1996).
Live music by Bent Different.
Feel free to converse during this program.

 THEATER:
Mother Theresa:
Defense Of Doubt
by VINCE D'ONOFRIO.
Staged-reading directed by MORNA MARTELL.
"Defense of Doubt" is an original play that celebrates the 100-year anniversary of the birth of Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu’s, the woman who would come to be known as Mother Teresa.
This play shows how a frail, sickly young girl grew into a powerhouse that demonstrated to the world how a single life can make a difference. It also gives us a glimpse into her own personal doubts and fears. The play reveals Mother Teresa as a simple woman, often uncomfortable with her own fame and gives insight into why she focused on helping those whom no one else wanted to help.
The staged reading will be directed by Morna Murphy Martell who has an impressive list of creditsin Staten Island theater. These include "Harriet Tubman Herself" (now touring the schools);  "Santa Claus is Missing" (six year run at theChildren's Museum); "Fauntleroy: The Musical" and most recently "Twelfth Night" at the West Side Community Garden in Manhattan. |
