Voice from the Field – Writing Gathering – 5:30 to 7pm.
Art is very important in our current climate and can give voice to our suffering and triumphs. But there are also those – mental health professionals, social justice lawyers, social service professionals, volunteers etc. – who do the hard work every day to alleviate that suffering. Their voices are also mightily important. We are creating a a space for these voices to gather and write their stories. This is the 1st of what will be a monthly gathering. Performances may ensue in the future.

Film: Shock Corridor
1963. “In Shock Corridor, the great American writer-director-producer Samuel Fuller masterfully charts the uneasy terrain between sanity and madness. Seeking a Pulitzer Prize, reporter Johnny Barrett (Peter Breck) has himself committed to a mental hospital to investigate a murder. As he closes in on the killer, insanity closes in on him. Constance Towers costars as Johnny’s coolheaded stripper girlfriend. With its startling commentary on racism and other hot-button issues in sixties America and its daring photography by Stanley Cortez, Shock Corridor has had far-reaching influence.”
