This is "The untold story of the Salmon War of 1978 inspired by the real
struggles of the Yuroks to defend their aboriginal rights to fish (and live
by!) the Klamath River. This production is endorsed by the Yurok Interim
Tribal Council.
Tale Spinners Theater is dedicated to creating and producing plays inspired
by the oral histories of Californians." (end of material quoted from flyer)
There are several performances. The one on October 15 is a benefit for
Norma Jean Croy, Shasta woman and prisoner for the past 15 years for a
crime she did not commit. The cost of tickets on the 15 is $6.00 to $28.00
sliding scale. All other performances are $12, and $6 for students and
seniors.
Times and places are:
Oct 14 & 15 - Laney College Theater, 900 Fallon Street, Oakland, CA
Oct 6, 8, and 9
Florence Schwimley Little Theater
1930 Allson Way, Berkeley
All Performances at 8:00 p.m.
For reservations, call (510) 526-7624
Additional note from the Norma Jean Croy Defense Committee: The money
raised at benefits DOES NOT go to Norma's attorneys (in other words, we
don't have artists work for free just so lawyers can get paid.) Money
raised goes to things like postage for mass mailings to educate folks
around her case, and also to things she personally may need, such as
clothing and other personal items.
