6:45pm We’ve got a new seating arrangement at the Salon tonight, and I’m hunched over in the corner waiting for everyone to arrive.  We’ll get underway about 7:30pm.

The order for tonight:

Janet Goldwater, Barbara Attie and Shannon Kane-Meddock

The Philadelphia-based filmmakers will show scenes from a new documentary, MRS. GOUNDO’S DAUGHTER, the story of a young mother’s quest to keep her baby daughter healthy and whole.  See the film’s website here!

Gabrielle Revlock will perform an excerpt of SHARE!, a collaborative dance piece that will debut at the nEW Festival in June. SHARE! is a collage of honest biographical text combined with the natural dishonesty of theatre. See a trailer here.

INTERMISSION

Mark Rudd

The leader of the student uprising of 1968 and founding member of the notorious Weather Underground, Mark Rudd revisits his radical past in his new memoir, Underground: My Life With SDS and the Weathermen.  Find out more here and read Annette John-Hall’s interview in yesterday’s Inquirer.

7:20 All the artists are here, our tech is all systems go, and we’re almost ready to go!    Great crowd tonight!

7:40  We’re underway!  First up are some scenes from Mrs. Goundo’s Daughter.

12:20 am  Well, that didn’t quite go as planned, but the Salon was fantastic.  We’ll have some photos and a recap tomorrow.  Or later today…
