"Free speech is under attack in this country - in subtle and not so subtle ways," said Jeff Zinn in a statement. "There are examples everything: canceled appearances of Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins following the Oscar telecast; the Screen Actors Guild receiving hate mail about Martin Sheen and others, website postings suggesting that well-known individuals who express 'unacceptable' views should be punished by losing their right to work. Even a hint of the blacklist must never again be tolerated in this nation." Tickets are $27 or two for $50, and are available by calling (508) 349-6835.
