WHO: Gavilan College Theater Arts Department
WHAT: First Monday playreading series presents Yes is For A Very Young Man, by Gertrude Stein. This play is based in some degree on the author's experiences in occupied France during World War II. The play deals with the emotional conflicts which divided France and much of the world during the heyday of fascism. It was presented on Broadway in 1946, shortly after the death of the author. Born in Allegheny, Pa., Stein spent her adult years in Paris. Her Paris home was a salon for the Cubist and experimental artist and writers, among them Henri Matisse, Sherwood Anderson, Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway. Stein was well known for unorthodox writing, her Roman senator haircut and her verbal facility. This anti-war piece can be found in her collection Last Operas and Plays. Admission is free.
WHEN: November 1, 2004 @ 6:30 p.m.
WHERE: Gavilan College Theater; 5055 Santa Teresa Blvd., Gilroy, CA 95020
