What would you do if you were let loose for an all-expense paid summer in New Haven, and the only requirement was to pursue social justice? Dwight Hall at Yale has challenged students with this question since 1968. We challenge you to frame the issues that you witness in the New Haven community and develop a response that pursues social justice. The distinction of this program, when compared to other internship or fellowship opportunities for Yale undergraduates, lies in the freedom and responsibility it places on students to pursue the project from conception (identifying the nature of the need) to completion (planning and executing a project that meets outcome-based goals). Come learn more about the Dwight Hall Summer Fellowship Program - applications will be available at the information session and will be due on Thursday, February 16 at 5:00pm. Also, check http://www.dwighthall.org/summer for more information.

Synopsis: The true story of Germany's most famous anti-Nazi heroine is brought to thrilling life in the multi-award winning drama SOPHIE SCHOLL-THE FINAL DAYS. Germany's official Foreign Language Film selection for the 2005 Academy Awards, SOPHIE SCHOLL stars Julia Jentsch (The Edukators) in a luminous performance as the young coed-turned-fearless activist. Armed with long-buried historical records of her incarceration, director Marc Rothemund expertly re-creates the last six days of Sophie Scholl's life: a heart-stopping journey from arrest to interrogation, trial and sentence. In 1943, as Hitler continues to wage war across Europe, a group of college students mount an underground resistance movement in Munich. Dedicated expressly to the downfall of the monolithic Third Reich war machine, they call themselves the White Rose. One of its few female members, Sophie Scholl is captured during a dangerous mission to distribute pamphlets on campus with her brother Hans. Unwavering in her convictions and loyalty to the White Rose, her cross-examination by the Gestapo quickly escalates into a searing test of wills as Scholl delivers a passionate call to freedom and personal responsibility that is both haunting and timeless. SOPHIE SCHOLL-THE FINAL DAYS received three Lolas (German Oscars) including the Audience Award and Best Actress Award to Jentsch for her brilliant characterization of the title role. The film also won two Silver Bears for Best Director and Best Actress at the 2005 Berlin International Film Festival. Director Marc Rothemund will speak at the end of the movie.

I've been asked to do a gig at ARS NOVA at 8 PM on February 6 (and 13), as part of their Broadway Spotlight series. It will be a bit of a musical autobiography, songs that have been important to me over the years, songs that friends of mine have written that I like, songs that friends have introduced me to. Mostly pop/rock, including U2, Police, Steely Dan, Gladys Knight, few theater songs by new and cool theater composers, and 3 mano originals. It should be a fun evening, not too long and in a great space. You can check out http://www.felciano.com/mano/arsnovaflyer.html for more info, including ticket information at www.smarttix.com or (212) 868-4444 and the humbling array of friends that I have convinced to share the stage with me.

The Unofficial New York Yale Cabaret, one of NYTheatre.com's "People of the Year 2005", presents Fringe 2004 hit Valiant. Arriving just in time for Women's History Month, this stirring account of women's experience of war from around the world was a sold out hit at the 2004 NYC International Fringe Festival. It won a Best of Fringe award for Lanna Joffrey's performance, was listed on numerous "Best of Fringe" lists and was New York Magazine's "Pick of the Week". Among other places, Valiant has performed at the Imagine Festival of Arts Issues and Ideas and most recently was invited to perform at the United Nations as part of the Celebration for the Committee on the Status of Women. Adapted by Lanna Joffrey from Sally Hayton-Keeva's book Valiant Women in War and Exile. Directed by Tamilla Woodard, Valiant is a multi-media docudrama featuring thirteen women's word-for-word accounts of their courageous, devastating and sometimes humorous experiences of war. From victim to perpetrator to peacemaker, these women from all over the world have fought, struggled and survived. Their stories are chronicled in this eye-opening and heartbreaking show. "Stark and quietly riveting. One of the shows to see at the 2004 New York International Fringe Festival." -- New York Magazine "Powerfully yet simply recounted. As these women from diverse cultures and economic classes recite a brutal litany of humiliations, the nightmare history of twentieth-century inhumanity is resurrected." -- NYTheatre.com No minimums on Food or Drink (if you plan on ordering food, please arrive at least 15 minutes before show time) Schedule Friday, February 24th @ 8pm Saturday, February 25th @ 8pm Friday, March 3rd @ 8pm Saturday, March 4th @ 5:30pm Saturday, March 4th @ 8pm Friday, March 10th @ 8pm Saturday, March 11th @ 8pm Group Sales Number (6+): 212-769-7969
