A performance: The Cage
8:00 PM – Hilton Coliseum - The credo and purpose behind the conception of this group is education and communication. The Cage is a true story, told by the men who lived it. The play concerns itself with people reacting under extreme situations-sick people acting out their aggressions in an atmosphere suitable for perpetuating their circumstances. The play concludes with the actors returning to be seated on stage for a confrontation with the audience. Part of the National Affairs Series
