DESCRIPTION:For immediate release:\nJuly 15, 2009\nContact:  Bob 
 Kilgore\n206-465-2558\nblindboyggg@yahoo.com\n\nNew monologue explains 
 Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar and its relevance to organizing today\n\nOn 
 August 22 at the Live Oak Grange, union organizer Bob Kilgore will perform 
 his new monologue, “Caesar’s Autopsy”, a unique analysis of 
 Shakespeare’s historical tragedy Julius Caesar.\n\nKilgore draws on his 
 decade of organizing experience to explain the inner workings of the 
 political conspiracy to kill Roman Emperor Julius Caesar.  His recitations 
 of key scenes from the play provide vivid examples of what to do (and what 
 not to do) when you’re organizing people to take power into their own 
 hands.\n\n“There are many lessons organizers can learn from 
 Shakespeare,” Kilgore says.  “It’s fascinating to see how Cassius, 
 Brutus and the others come together to take Caesar down. They make some big 
 mistakes, too--in fact they all wind up dead--so I draw some conclusions 
 from that side of it as well.”\n\n“Caesar’s Autopsy” looks at the 
 potential for organizing social change in the U.S., in these times of 
 having a former community organizer for President and incredible social 
 technology at our fingertips.  Yet it demonstrates that there are certain 
 fundamental elements to organizing that have remained constant for 
 millennia.\n\n“I think of the show as honorable yet dangerous,” says 
 Kilgore.  “It’s worthy to share the secrets of agitation, but it’s 
 also a little nerve-wracking.  When you organize you unleash tremendous 
 energy for change—you don’t know what can happen when people get 
 together and decide to alter their relationship with the powers that be.  
 It’s risky and exciting, and I think Shakespeare captures that thrill 
 perfectly.”\n\nAdmission is Free\n\n“Caesar’s Autopsy”\n\nSaturday
