1st Class and show details!

Hey Multi TRaC!

You get started this Thursday and will kick off the TRaC season with a show that night! Make sure to mark your calendars and plan accordingly ... meaning bring something to eat or a few bucks to pick up some food before the show.

Where and when to meet for class....
You meet every Thursday, from this one until the last class in December, from 4:30 to 6:30 (don't be late!) at the Jacob Blaustein Building at 165 East 56th Street on the corner of 3rd Avenue. **You are required to bring Photo ID.** (Please note: we are not always in the same room. Ask the guard behind the glass what room to be sure.) Take the 4, 5 or 6 train to 59th street and walk south down to 56th on Lexington and make a left. OR take the E, V, or 6 train to 51st street and walk north.

Immediately following class you will head down, as a group, to the Culture Project to see the one-man show, Tings Dey Happen, written and performed by Danny Hoyle.

Here's a little about the show from the Culture Project website:

Dan Hoyle tells the comic and profound story of Nigeria's oil madness in Tings Dey Happen, based on Hoyle's year in Nigeria as a Fulbright Scholar.

Media-savvy warlords, pacifist militants, Africanized Texas oilmen, and prostitutes turned anti-Chevron activists confront the audience with their stories of survival on the West African Oil Frontier.

Already supplying 10% of American oil, Nigeria and its surrounding Gulf of Guinea region has been targeted as the "new Middle East" of oil security.

However, militants in the oil-producing Niger Delta are blowing up pipelines, warlords are threatening rebellion, and oil company employees are being kidnapped with alarming frequency...

The show is at 8pm and runs about an hour and a half. The Culture Project theater is at 55 Mercer St. (between Broome St. and Grand St.). Click here to check out their website for directions.

And don't forget to bring a pen and notebook on Thursday!
