Man of La Mancha, Jane Eyre) join
Angel Desai (
Company),

Normal),
Jamison Stern (

Michael Winther (

Proceeds from the event will go toward funding ProjectExplorer's 2007 South Africa film and multimedia project, which will introduce students globally to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the AIDS crisis, environmental issues, and recent global initiatives to end extreme poverty. The project will also explore the country's culture by featuring film segments on South African theatre and playwrights, dance, cuisine, clothing, music, and other unique South African traditions.
