Occupation policies they enforce and what they have to say is POWERFUL!

argument about how #YesAllWomen is a thing; if you've ever raged over the fact
that in 2015 #BlackLivesMatter is even an issue, this play is for you. A
satirical look at the maze we all must navigate regardless of the particulars
of the system, The Paper Game will touch everyone who's ever had to call a
1-800 number and then dedicate what seems like the rest of their life to trying
to get the right person to tell them the right thing to make everything work
out right. Tickets are $17.

"One
is called to live nonviolently, even if the change one works for seems
impossible. It may or may not be possible to turn the US around through
nonviolent revolution. But one thing favors such an attempt: the total
inability of violence to change anything for the better" - Daniel Berrigan
