Howl by Allen Ginsberg adapted for the stage by Johnny Simons |
Opened June 5, 2009 |
| Originally published by City Lights Books in the fall of 1956, and subsequently seized by US Customs and the San Francisco police, HOWL was the subject of a long court trial at which a series of poets and professors persuaded the court that the book was not obscene. An ensemble of actors performs Ginsberg’s poem unexpurgated. “I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness starving hysterical naked . . .” |
Rate PG13 |
Due to the Adult subject matter and language used in this poem, the play is not appropriate for young children. |
June 5 - June 28 (Friday - Sunday) |
Gates open 7 PM, Showtime 9 PM |
| Come to our front yard and listen to great music from local musicians and enjoy wonderful food from Z's Cafe. Stick around after the show for more great music and fun. |
