[Jewish] Award-Winning Actor and Drag Legend Charles Busch is here in Two days!!

[Steven Nathan]

So if you don't know who Charles Busch is , make sure you check out 
www.charlesbusch.com <http://www.charlesbusch.com>.  He won the Sundance 
Film Festival Best Performance Award for his movie "Die Mommie Die" 
(which had about 40 of us at Hampshire in stitches last week) and 
received a special Drama Desk Award for his acting and writing 
off-Broadway in shows like Vampire Lesbians of Sodom (one of the longest 
running shows in Off-Broadway history), Psycho Beach Party, The Lady in 
Question and Theodora She-Bitch of Byzantium!  He was also nominated for 
a Tony Award for best author for his Broadway smash hit "The Tale of the 
Allergist's Wife."

So join us for one or both programs this weekend as we welcome this 
fabulous performer to the community!   It will be a great weekend for 
everyone!  And pass this message on to anyone at Hampshire...or 
elsewhere...you think might be interested!  You don't have to be queer 
to have a great time!

Both programs are free of charge.  They are sponsored by:  Hampshire 
College Queer Community Alliance, Office Student Development and 
Community Leadership, Women's Center,  and Theatre Program; Amherst 
College Pride Alliance and Theatre Department; UMass Stonewall Center, 
The Five College Lecture Fund and Northampton's Pride & Joy.

"The more deeply immersed I became in the thinking of the prophets, the 
more powerfully it became clear to me what the lives of the prophets 
sought to convey: that morally speaking there is no limit to the concern 
one must feel for the suffering of human beings. It also became clear to 
me that in regard to cruelties committed in the name of a free society, 
some are guilty, all are responsible."

-Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel
