The Boycott
A FREE performance of the play written and performed by Kathryn Blume
Fresh from Off-Broadway success in NYC and now on a nationwide tour, Kathy Blume's THE BOYCOTT has been packing theaters to the rafters with her theatrical magic, "The Boycott" is Blume's adaptation of Aristophanes' classical Greek comedy "Lysistrata". Kathy's acclaimed version tells the story of the First Lady of the United States launching a nationwide sex strike to fight global warming and save the world. Come for a raucous tour of Oval Office affairs, psychedelic absinthe trips, enchanted frogs, movie star cameos - and land in a heap of unabashed hope.
Seating is FREE but LIMITED! PLEASE RSVP NOW to reserve seats! And check out the website.
Co-sponsored by the SIERRA CLUB, the Dartmouth Classics Department, Sustainable Dartmouth, and the Environmental Conservation Organization. |

Will you join us?
The League of Women Voters (LWV) seeks new members, both women and
men. The LWV is a national, nonpartisan organization which
provides services to voters and influences public policy issues at all
levels of government. The name is retained for historical
reasons. Founded in 1920, the LWV grew out of equal
suffrage clubs and other groups working for passage of the nineteenth
amendment which gave women the right to vote.
By joining the LWVUV, you become a member of the local, state and national
League. Our dues are $40 per member, or $60 for two members at
the same address. To join, send a check for dues and a note about
your interests to:
LWV of the Upper Valley
PO Box 423, Hanover, NH 03755
