To kick off the Tennessee Repertory Theatre's production of Arthur Miller's The Crucible, the First Amendment Center will host a community forum that reflects upon the powerful themes that are raised in the play. Who are the persecuted 'witches' in society today? Do your traits or beliefs condemn you in the eyes of others? Opening Remarks by John Seigenthaler, First Amendment Center Founder Moderator: Gene Policinski, Executive director, First Amendment Center Panelists: Hedy Weinberg, Executive Director, ACLU Tennessee Richard Land, President, Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission Arsalan Iftikhar, Contributing Editor, Islamica magazine Chris Sanders, president, Tennessee Equality Project Instances of hatred, suspicion and prejudice litter the timeline of our nation. From the Salem witch trials to the Red Scare to ethnic and religious discrimination, fear and ignorance have led to some of the darkest periods in our history. This engaging and thought-provoking discussion centers around one of human nature's most innate--and dangerous--emotions: fear. The program will include audience Q&A, as well as a scene from The Crucible performed by actors from the Tennessee Repertory Theatre. Free and open to the public. Appropriate audience: High School students and above.
