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.
