 Cole and Kivalina is a true story about the first climate change refugees 
 in the United States and San Francisco lawyer Luke Cole's response to their 
 predicament.\n\nLuke Cole (1962-2009) was a leading environmental justice 
 lawyer in San Francisco. A giant in his field, his work is widely known and 
 respected in the Bay Area and beyond. He founded the Center on Race, 
 Poverty, and the Environment, a non-profit law firm that helps marginalized 
 communities fight the unwanted imposition of environmental hazards.\n\nThis 
 unusual play with music presents a collage of stories in layered 
 timeframes. An Inupiat myth tells of Raven, a trickster character existing 
 in all dimensions of time, who creates the world. Raven ushers Luke through 
 an end-of-life dream, as he relives his experiences in Kivalina. 
 Interspersed are stories from the 10,000-year-old Inupiat culture, such as 
 a whaling story of envy and forgiveness among the Kivalina villagers. Deep 
 friendships are formed during the arduous six-year-long Clean Water Act 
 case that Luke works on with the Villagers. Luke shares the Villagers' 
 frustration at the lack of help to relocate their eroding village, and 
 dares to make the controversial Global Warming case on their behalf. Arctic 
 Requiem mourns the loss of Luke Cole, the loss of the Native Inupiat 
 culture, and the loss of Kivalina's habitat due to pollution and climate 
 change.\n\nA world premiere, presented by  Bootstrap Theater Foundation, 
 the production is directed by Tracy Ward, with a book by Sharmon J. 
 Hilfinger, music by Joan McMillen, and dramaturgy by Brian Thorstenson. The 
 cast of "Arctic Requiem" features Damon Sperber***, Michael Torres*, 
 Lawrence Radecker**, Cathleen Riddley*, Lynne Soffer* and Gendell 
 Hing-Hernandez* (*AEA) (**SAG/AFTRA).\n
