The Actors’ Gang In The Trial Of The Catonsville Nine September 18, 2009

Poet priest Daniel Berrigan’s historical drama brings to life the 1968 trial of nine Catholic activists who committed an act of civil disobedience to protest the war in Vietnam. Their moral act of civil dissent — burning draft records from the Catonsville, Maryland draft board office — galvanized a national protest movement.

The performance runs Sept. 17 and Sept. 18. There will be a Talk Back with the artists following this performance.
