Social Justice Theatre

The Social Justice Committee of Montreal has a new effort to promote their theatre project, “The Dictatorship of Debt.”  You’ll find info at the freshly designed SocialJusticeTheatre.com (warning, it’s Flash only) – I personally love the menu option “Find Justice Here.”

Their next performances take place at Theatre St Catherines on April 1, 2, 3, 5 (note, no performance on the 4th) at 8:00PM, and also at 2:00PM on the 5th.  Tickets are available at Lola Rosa and Cheap Thrills for $5.

Disclosure: I have worked with the SJC, writing for their publication, the Upstream Journal, and folks I know and like have worked directly on this theatre project.
