THEATER
"A Good Day to Pie," a one-woman show about the Biotic
Baking Brigade (a loosely organized group committed to
"throwing pies at power" and to "creaming" people they
consider culprits of social crime), here takes on issues
surrounding the genetic engineering of food, namely of
seeds, pesticides, and animals, and the public awareness of
such. While various members of the Brigade, as for example,
"The Cherry Pie Three," are now in jail for their act of
pastry-disobedience, this play features a fictional activist
whose major "beef" is with Monsanto and its terminator
technology. The play will be presented twice during the
conference. Both performances are on Wednesday, October 20,
with the first performance at 12:30 p.m. and the second at
8:30 p.m. Both performances will be held in the Simon
Center, Baldwin Gymnasium. Actress Rebecca Pridmore is a
student in Drew's Theological Seminary.
