Robin Morgan:
The "otherizing" of women is the oldest oppression known to our species, and it's the model, the template, for all other oppressions.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THEATRE UNBOUND GIVES YOU WHAT YOU ASKED FOR Theatre Unbound will hold its 6th Annual Benefit Gala and 24-Hour Play Project on Saturday, February 10, at at Intermedia Arts, 2822 Lyndale Avenue South in Minneapolis. In addition to the 24-Hour Plays - six new plays written, rehearsed and performed within 24 hours - the gala will feature food, drink, a live auction, and emceeing by local comedy divas Greta Grosch (Church Basement Ladies) and Ahna Brandvik (Tony and Tina's Wedding). Theatre Unbound was the first company to bring the 24-Hour play concept to the Twin Cities, in May 2001. Six teams of playwrights come together on the Friday night before the event. Each team has eight hours to create a new script featuring women performers and including four "ingredients." On Saturday morning, the scripts are turned over to directors and actors, who have a mere three hours of rehearsal to put the shows together in time for the evening's performance. "We added a new twist this year," says Theatre Unbound Artistic Director Stacey Poirier. "We let the public vote, via an online ballot, for the ingredients they wanted to see in the plays. We received more than 100 votes from all across the country. What were the winning elements? The fuzzy dice? The Ludacris lyrics? Join us on February 10th and find out!" Tickets to the benefit are $25. All proceeds from ticket sales and the silent auction will benefit Theatre Unbound, a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization. For reservations or further information, call 612-721-1186 or visit www.theatreunbound.com. Doors will open at 7:00 PM, and performances of the 24-Hour Plays will begin at 8:00 PM. Theatre Unbound produces high quality, visionary theatre created by women - powerful stories that represent women in active pursuit of their goals and desires; female perspectives on universal struggles and achievements.
