DESCRIPTION:The Stanford Department of Drama and the Stanford Theatre Act
 ivist Mobilization Project (STAMP) are proud to announce a staged readin
 g - the San Francisco Bay Area premiere - of the thought-provoking play\
 , "My Name is Rachel Corrie."\n\nThis show follows one girl’s true story
  of struggle through adolescence\, self-discovery\, and idealism as she 
 bursts through her familiar world of Olympia\, WA to the conflict-ridden
  Gaza strip as a volunteer aid worker. Taken from the poetic\, gritty\, 
 and comedic writings of Rachel Corrie\, this one woman show celebrates t
 he precarious young life an emerging social hero right up until she is k
 illed by an Israeli Defense Forces bulldozer while working for social ju
 stice and peace in the Gaza Strip in March 2003\, teaching us all import
 ant lessons about global conflict\, peace\, and our own responsibility t
 o advance change in our world. \n\nThe performances feature an impressiv
 e line-up of post-show discussion speakers including Rabbi Michael Lerne
 r\, Professor Joel Beinin\, and Professor Tom Sheehan.
