nonviolent executions
Written & Performed by
steve ben israel
TWO PERFORMANCES ONLY!
FRIDAY & SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27 & 28, 2009 at 8pm
“Hilarious and moving. One of our great performers.” – The LA Weekly
nonviolent executions, steve ben israel’s one-man show, is his latest séance to contact the living. A series of short takes combining humor, poetry, stories of rare poignancy, and his virtuosic acting abilities,
nonviolent executions is an evening of entertainment with extraordinary
intelligence and heart.
Mr. israel started working as a comedian more than 50 years ago, then joined The Living Theatre and for many years toured this country, Europe, North Africa and Brazil as a leading actor in that
ground-breaking group. More recently, he has performed extensively on the downtown scene, in such venues as The Kitchen, The Performing Garage, and The Nuyorican Poets Café, and has appeared in movies by
Bertolucci, been a featured artist on recordings by Frederic Rzewski and Anthony Braxton, and has been a guest commentator on NPR’s “All Things Considered.” He is a recipient of a 2007 Obie Award.
In nonviolent executions, israel comes full circle, to inhabit the city of his waking dreams and nightmares to confront the beauty, the horror and the possibilities of “the island that creates the spice that gives
much of the country its flavor.”
When he finds communality with an immigrant cab driver, a cashier at
the phone company, or an old jazz hand, he touches something in us all.
When he tells his audience that he doesn’t “like the way white people are portrayed in movies,” he is completely sincere. When he sings the cantorial “Ballad of Black, White, and Jew,” sadness and hope ride a
North African musical motif from hidden grief to deliverance.
steve ben israel would present an audience’s most generous face to itself. If he pierces the slick armor masquerading as sense in our time with jolts of love and compassion, it is only his compulsion and our
deep pleasure to be so subjected.

Thanks to all of our guests and volunteers who made our November 2nd First Mondays event at B. Smith’s a great success. We had over 200 guests, including many new faces, and we are excited at the great energy and ideas everyone is bringing to the Foundation through these and other events. Thanks to all our “Celebrity Bartenders”. We are hoping to develop a 2010 Benefit Calendar with their photos. All photos from the event should be up on our website by next week.
First Mondays, the live networking component of the “I Can Still Do That Foundation”, has had some success stories of people meeting new friends and partners (both business and otherwise) and sharing knowledge and wisdom. If you want to share a success story, please email it to us. We are collecting them for the website.
We have been invited back to B. Smith’s and are also looking at other venues for a possible “power lunch” networking program. Please let me know if anyone would like to volunteer to organize this or our Secret Santa/Hanukkah Harry Holiday Party.
One highlight from our advisors this week is free tickets for the NYC Debut of Juan Carlos Escudero, an amazing young
pianist from Equador (see him and Maestro Lliso on our inspiring story “Maestro
and Prodigy” at http://icanstilldothat.org/
videos )
The Concert is next Sat. Nov. 14th at Merkin Concert Hall (7:30 PM). Please call Maestro Llliso at 718. 235-4681 if you would like to reserve free tickets (subject to availability).
Please join our Facebook and LinkedIn groups for First Mondays and I Can Still Do That and, by all means, please tell friends. Please send us any ideas, suggestions,
jokes, recipes, loose change, antique cars, appreciated land or houses you
cannot sell etc. All donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
