5/3 Sat 8 pm Encore Performance of the Play "My Name is Rachel Corrie" – Monona. At St. Stephens Lutheran Church, 5700 Pheasant Hill Road. http://www.oliveolive.org/directions.html#ststephens. The play had a hugely successful, filled-to-capacity four-night run in Madison in March, so we have decided to offer another performance to accommodate the many people who had to be turned away. UW drama student Brittany Jordt will again portray the part of Rachel Corrie. Admission is free; donations are welcomed, with half going to the costs of producing the play and half to the Augusta Victorial Hospital in East Jerusalem. The play will be preceeded by a benefit dinner at the church, from 6 - 7:30 pm, catered by the Dardanelles Restaurant, featuring Kefteh (Lamb Meatballs), Rice Pilav, Spinach Borek, Coban Salad, Baklava, Hot & Spicy Tea, Iced Thai Coffee, and Regular/Decaf Coffee.  Tickets for the dinner are $25 single or $40 for a pair.  Dinner seating is limited.  For tickets please contact 608-222-1241.  All proceeds will benefit Augusta Victorial Hospital.
