Hi all - just wanted you to know that if anyone wants to attend this 
performance (see below), tell them at the door that you saw it mentioned on 
the BATA list and you can get in for half price - $25.

Subject:  "The Exonerated" - a benefit for justice Bay Area exclusive 
performance! Come and meet the authors.

Santa Clara University's School of Law and City Lights Theatre Company, in 
conjunction with the Northern California Innocence Project, has secured the 
rights to do a staged reading of Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen's current 
off-Broadway hit play - "The Exonerated" - for one night only on Monday, 
April 
21, 2003. (Visit the website of the New York's production at 
http://www.45bleecker.com/exonerated.html)

Taken verbatim from court transcripts, depositions and interviews, "The 
Exonerated" tells the stories of six former death row inmates who were 
wrongly convicted of murder. These individuals spent from two to twenty 
years on death row before they were finally released with evidence of 
innocence. "The Exonerated" has been performed with celebrity studded casts 
in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. 

This fundraising performance is to benefit the Northern California Innocence 
Project. NCIP works within an educational framework to exonerate indigent 
California prisoners and to pursue legal reforms that address the causes of 
wrongful conviction. The performance, with an excellent cast of veteran Bay 
area actors, is produced and directed by the City Lights Theater Company of 
San Jose.

Over the past decade, more than 100 wrongfully convicted people have been 
freed from prisons in the United States, due to the work of law schools, 
journalists, public and private defenders and others. Of the people 
exonerated, at least 10 were on death row. No one knows how many innocent 
people have already been executed. Come see "The Exonerated" and help support 
the cause to free the actual innocent.
