EXECUTION of JUSTICE
THIS THURSDAY, FRIDAY, AND SATURDAY.
TOYON HALL.
7PM.

In 1978, Dan White shot and killed San Francisco mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk, America's first openly gay elected official.

This play explores the highly controversial trial and verdict that followed.  Was it a deliberate, pre-meditated assassination? A spontaneous murder in the heat of a quarrel? A homophobic hate crime, or a political impulse?
You decide.

Emily Mann's Execution of Justice puts the case of the People vs. Dan White itself on trial. In dual acts of violence in November 1978, Dan White killed George Moscone, the Mayor of San Francisco, and Supervisor Harvey Milk, the first openly gay officeholder in the city. The trial polarized San Francisco and highlighted deep divisions about where the city and the nation were headed.  At the end of the trial, Dan White was convicted on the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter and sentenced to seven years and eight months in prison.

STAMP's first ever Shakespeare production, The Merchant of Venice, resurrects the infamous conflict between Shylock, a Jewish lender, and Antonia, a Christian businesswoman. Set in the modern context of the Bay Area and populated by characters surprisingly similar to our
selves, this production raises important questions about interfaith dialogue. Each performance will be followed by a fifteen minute talk back session.

Spring into Action

STAMP's Spring into Action is an annual festival of student-written plays with social activist themes.  Typical submissions are one-act plays about 15-45 minutes in length, but scripts of all sizes will be considered.

Last year, the show included the student-written musical Abraham Niu and the Friendly Fires (which became Pawn) by Karmia Cao '11, and Wealth of Words, which is a collection of student-written monologues about the experiences of Stanford students from low-income backgrounds.

Submissions are due by March 28 (first day of spring quarter classes).
