You Got Older by Clare Barron

If you want to listen, we welcome that, too. Seven parts this time: 3 women, 4 men Notes from Samuel French: Mae returns home to help take care of Dad and – maybe (a little) – herself. You Got Older is a tender and darkly comic new play about family, illness, and cowboys – and how to remain standing when everything you know comes crashing down around you. |

Slow Theatre presents Chico Speaks: Free Speech
Tuesday, October 23, 2018 at 7PM - 9PM 1078 Gallery - 1710 Park Ave, Chico CA 95928 |
Free speech is protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and is a concept many Americans hold dear. Yet, this right faces new challenges in modern society from all sides. On many college campuses, left-wing groups are protesting, heckling, or otherwise driving away conservative speakers. Meanwhile, politicians in the highest offices of government use their power to undermine or suppress speech they consider controversial. What is happening to the idea of tolerance and respect for diverging views? What is the role of free speech on campus? In the media? In government? What can we do to protect this bedrock virtue of American society?
