Ellen Geer, artistic director of the Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum, will recount what happened to her family when they spoke out during to the 1950s, and the similarity to what happens today when dissent is voiced. We find ourselves at a time that many are again afraid to speak. When that happened at mid-century it divided and isolated people, and caused some to quit being human. The important thing today is to find courage, and we hope that in communities such as ours we can help one another to find it. Music Jennifer Jurrick, vocalist
