FORCES

Bev Stamp, pro-choice activist, enjoys wearing the Theater Collective's new T-shirt.

Essentially, the collective has performed original works, many of which were written by members of the group, and some of which were improvisational efforts by the collective members. At this time, the group is issuing a request to women interested in having any plays that they have written performed, or to any women interested in working with the collective in any capacity. The group meets on a somewhat regular basis in the homes of various members and urges any feminists with a theatrical inclination to contact Dianne Fishman at 982-5718, Pat Bottiggi at 383-8167, or Gail Rule at 932-7037.

Some potential future projects, discussed in the collective, are the NOW convention in Toledo in November and the Third Annual Oven Production Variety Show in February.

The fund raising committee is selling Nobody's Rib T-shirts at $6.00 each, or two for $10.00. These shirts can be purchased at WomenSpace and The Side Door, or by calling 932-5713 or 226-0386. Sizes still available are men's Small and men's Medium in various colors. Please help support the group!
