Acknowledgments

Anthony Arnove and Joey Fox were of great help in finding material for these readings, some of which will appear in a Seven Stories Press book, Voices from a People’s History. Leslie Cohen at HarperCollins, along with Susan Engel, Sidney Burgos, John Kelly, Gail Martin, and Deborah Seymour of the 92nd Street Y were essential in organizing the February 27, 2003, event where these readings took place. Harris Yulin, one of the actors participating, played a critical role in finding other actors and in staging the event. My editor at HarperCollins, Hugh Van Dusen, who introduced the evening, gave strong support throughout, as did David Semanki, also of HarperCollins.
