Rare productions and performances from the past, including Prisoners of the Real: From Here to Paradise — An odyssey in sound and thought. Recorded in 1992, #1 of this archival series incorporates ideas from Greg’s book, Prisoners of the Real, with a mix of jazz, folk, and world music. It’s core message: If we are going to rescue and transform human society, many of our psychic road maps have to be redrawn. And one necessary step is honest reflection concerning our basic assumptions about ourselves.

13 SEP 2019 · When national security and civil liberties are at odds, fundamental rights are often undermined or violated. “Inquisitions (and Other Un-American Activities)” explores this theme through dramatic recreations of the Haymarket bombing in Chicago and other crackdowns on dissent. In Act 3, the Haymarket trial concludes as capitalist oligarchs celebrate on a surrealistic dream train. Before her interrogation ends Lucy Parsons remembers her fight for clemency and the unjust hanging of her husband and comrades. Written by Greg Guma, directed by Bill Boardman, and produced by Catalyst Theatre. Restored version.
11 SEP 2019 · When national security and civil liberties are at odds, fundamental rights are often undermined or violated. “Inquisitions (and Other Un-American Activities)” explores this timely theme through a dramatic recreation of the Haymarket bombing in Chicago and other crackdowns on dissent. In Act 2, the play recreates the post-Haymarket show trial of eight anarchist activists. The interrogation of Lucy Parsons continues — by a young J. Edgar Hoover — as she defends her controversial life. Written by Greg Guma, directed by Bill Boardman, and produced by Catalyst Theatre.
11 SEP 2019 · When national security and civil liberties are at odds, fundamental rights are often undermined or violated. “Inquisitions (and Other Un-American Activities)” explores this theme through a dramatic recreation of the Haymarket bombing in Chicago and other crackdowns on dissent.

18 JUL 2019 · Prisoners of the Real: From Here to Paradise — A sound and thought odyssey. Recorded and broadcast in 1991 for the radio series World Scene, this unique program incorporates ideas from Greg’s book, Prisoners of the Real, synthesized with jazz, folk, and world music. It’s message: If human society is to be rescued and transformed, moving from the “rational” to the Dionysian, many of our psychic road maps have to be redrawn. The capacity for liberation is a latent possibility. But it may or may not become real. But one necessary step is honest reflection concerning our basic assumptions about ourselves.
