My Name Is Rachel Corrie
Performance and Panel
Saturday, March 15 at 2 PM
Balcony Theatre, UGA Fine Arts Building
Free admission

My Name Is Rachel Corrie is play based on the writings of a young American activist whose devotion to the idea that “everyone must feel safe” situates her in the Gaza Strip during the Second Intifada in 2003 to deliver humanitarian assistance. After tragically losing her life, the compilation of her journal and email writings serves as a revelation to question our commitments to morality, mortality, and humanitarian ideals.

The play will be followed by a panel on art and activism, the humanitarian situation in Gaza, and the legacy of Rachel Corrie. The panel will be moderated by Aayush Umesh (Theatre and Film Studies student) and will include Dr. Eli Sperling (SPIA, Israel Institute Teaching Fellow), Dr. Roger Stahl (Communication Studies, Interim Department Head), Dr. David Saltz (Theatre and Film Studies, Theory/History Head), Imam/ah Trina Jackson (Unity Mosque, Imam/ah – spiritual leader), and Asia Meana (Theatre and Film Studies student).
