And So Forth presents a special edition of THAW's monthly freedom follies!

Grappling with the presidential election outcome of 2004, January's Follies turns to the Platonic adage that necessity is the mother of invention. How must the current state of affairs encourage creative efforts towards peace?

THAW's monthly pro-peace performance forum features material from Nevada Shakespeare Company, artivist Laura Schliefer, performer Laurie Schoeman, text from playwright Caridad Svich, songs from Ned Massey, Jamie Smith and Alec Duffy, readings by Hannah Weinstock, Paul Pierog, Nadege Revange, Brian Pickett and others!

Beginning in July of 2003, THAW's crew of volunteer artists has curated monthly extravaganzas of pro-peace texts illuminating a timely theme-of-the-month.  Since then, hundreds of diverse artists and concerned citizens the world over (including Reverend Billy, veteran actress Dale Soules, Bread and Puppet Theater, DadaNYC and others) have joined their voices in powerful dissent. 

Directions to Union Pool
Take the L train to the Lorimer stop. When you exit the subway, walk one block towards the BQE (raised highway). Union Pool will be on your right, on the corner just before you go under the BQE.
