An Event to Remember...

Using comedy as a weapon of choice, "La Angry Xicana?!"examines possible sources of contemporary and historical anger among womyn of color. (Oh, and people, she's really not angry… she's just getting even!)

This full-length solo show features Adelina's trademark Spanglish humor and flirts with all kinds of cultural taboos. "La Angry Xicana?!" weaves together critiques on Hollywood, the U.S. corporate media, purported lesbian gang epidemics, The L Word, conservative politics, LGBT community health issues, religious icons, post-welfare life, and the semi-sacred courtship that happens only among queer womyn of color.



ATTENTION STUDENT ACTIVISTS!

The Davis-Putter Scholarship Fund has applications available for student activists who are building the progressive movement and will be enrolled in school during the 2010-11 academic year.

Since 1961 the Davis-Putter Fund has provided need-based grants to students who are involved in building movements for social and economic justice and are able to do academic work at the college level. Grantees are both graduates and undergraduates enrolled in accredited schools for the period covered by their grant. Applications and the supporting documents—transcripts, a personal statement, two letters of recommendation, a photograph, financial aid reports—must be postmarked by April 1, 2010.

The Davis-Putter website provides answers to questions about the Fund, the application process, and the students they support. For more information, go to the Fund’s website: www.davisputter.org.
