Farm School NyC Benefit
August 4, 2014 @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm
$10 – $50Photo from Joe Vennare
Join Just Food and Farm School NYC’s Executive Board for a Special Benefit Performance of This Will All Be Yours.
About the play:
It’s 1979 and progress is about to land on everybody’s doorstep, sometimes gently and other times with a giant thud. Not all members of the Price family feel the same about what change means, but by the time they acknowledge that the landscape has shifted, it may already be too late to save their way of life. This Will All Be Yours will run Off-Broadway as part of the Midtown International Theatre Festival July 17- August 7, 2014 at The Barrow Group Theatre, 312 West 36th st. on the 3rd floor.
About the panel:
A panel of Farm School NYC faculty, alumni and students will discuss family farming, industrial agriculture, land access, social justice, and other critical topics and how they were addressed–or overlooked–in the play.
