This production of Romeo and Juliet takes place in a world very different from fair Verona. In a futuristic setting in the year 2123\, the rival houses of Capulet and Montague fight to survive and gain control over the territory. In the midst of such chaos and bloodshed is a tender love story that fights against the odds and shows the beauty that can be found in the most unlikely places and situations. It is a play that transcends geography and culture; a story that everyone knows\, and everyone can feel a part of. To fight for what you believe in\, whether right or not\, to die for what you believe in\, and for who you believe in\, is possibly one of the boldest and most intensely moving narratives ever told. \nStarting August 28\, advance tickets will be on Eventbrite (17.85 includes processing fee) or $20 at the door.

The suppressed history of America’s last slave ship came back to life\, prompting a complex reckoning for Alabamans\, who had largely chosen to neglect or even deny this strange chapter in the harrowing saga of plantation slavery in the American South.

Commerce\, technology\, entertainment\, travel\, health\, and all societal interaction are now so dependent on secure and reliable telecommunications that\, if the plug were pulled\, our nation and world would likely collapse. As our digital world grows increasingly complex\, it’s critically important for Americans to understand what drives\, threatens\, and governs the technology on which we all depend. \nWhen Wire Was King explores three interconnected themes – innovation\, competition\, and regulation – and the shifting balance among the three that sparked the telecommunications revolution\, beginning in the early 1970s. The liberalization of regulations and opening of the telecommunications market covering satellite\, cable\, wireless\, and telephony led to an explosion of innovation that brought us the Internet and wireless.  \nWhen Wire Was King is a visual journey through our telecommunications history\, using archival photos\, footage\, newscasts\, advertising\, and entertainment clips to transport viewers. The film captures the story of this revolution through the voices of key players still with us today – innovators\, economists\, policy makers\, industry executives\, and Congressional leaders. \nThe version shown at the Theatre will be a 55-minute film\, not the feature length film Here is the trailer: https://www.whenwirewasking.com/trailer.html \nThe event is free. It is co-sponsored by Rapp at Home. \n  URL:https://www.raac.org/upcoming-events/when-wire-was-king-the-transformation-of-telecommunications/ LOCATION:Little Washington Theatre\, 291 Gay Street\, Washington\, VA\, 22740\, United States CATEGORIES:Film Talkback Series,RAAC Events ORGANIZER;CN="Rappahannock Association for Arts and Community":MAILTO:theater@raac.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
