- Summary
- Panel discussion on the play by Eric Bentley, Are you now or have you ever been?, currently being performed by the Village Theatre Company. The play concerns the blacklisting of American entertainers by the House Un-American Activities Committee from 1947 to 1958, and is based on the actual testimony given to the Committee. The discussion, moderated by editor and author Victor Navasky, focuses on the play's accuracy and relationship to the historical events it portrays; combining reality with theater; and the relationship of these historical events to the current political situation, especially at the National Endowment for the Arts. The panel discussion follows introduction by member of Village Theatre Company.
