Felonious and Circuit Network presents:
Selections from
Curren$y
Book and Lyrics by Dan Wolf
Music by GRAMMY nominee Tommy Shepherd
Directed by Ashley Smiley
Saturday, June 9th, 2018
8:00pm
Curren$y is an all-female rap show based on The Merchant of Venice. Featuring rappers and actors performing with a live hip hop band, this selection from the full length show brings you inside the world of Venice City, a bustling metropolis filled with chaos and divisions. The city is changing. Class and religion divides us. Hate and fear fuels our ignorance. And money is what drives us all.
Curren$y uses rhythm and rhyme to flip religion, sexism, xenophobia, legal status, gender, and privilege inside out over a live beat. We use Shakespeare’s characters as containers, to anchor ourselves at the dawn of the 17th Century only to find eerie echoes of present day America. Sometimes it takes more than a pound of flesh.
Tickets: https://feloniuscurrency.brownpapertickets.com
$50 - VIP tickets (special seating + glass of wine)
$25 - General admission
$15 - Back Row Special (limited seating)

Association Building Community presents Peace Practices -- Aikido 2.0 and Conflict Done Well
All levels are welcome - Click Here for more Class Information
An RSVP is required. Email administration@abcglobal.net or call, toll free: (866) 236-0346 and leave a message.
Aikido 2.0 introduces language within the physical techniques of the martial art of aikido, so students may practice effective physical self-defense and redirective language at the same time and under pressure. Those who continue learn Martial Nonviolence, which adds elements of improvisation and facilitation to Aikido 2.0 so that practitioners may become conflict professionals, paid instructors in the Peace Practices project, and apply Conflict Done Well in any situation.
