http://www.artsandmedia.net/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=336
On November 18, 1978, more than 900 members of the
People's Temple died in Jonestown, Guyana, apparent
victims of a mass murder/suicide led by their charismatic
leader, the Reverend Jim Jones. Twenty-five years later,
a group of theater artists embarked on a journey back in
time, attempting to make sense of the deaths at Jonestown
through newly discovered records at the California Historical
Society and the first-hand stories of survivors. Let All
the Stories Be Told follows the theater project from its
genesis to opening night at the Berkeley Repertory Theater,
as the team struggles to create a work of art from of this
dark chapter in American history.
