By Doris Baizley
Directed by Ron Peluso

World Premiere

A co-production with the University of Minnesota Theatre Department

1970. Three years after the Summer of Love, the American death toll in Vietnam is 30,000 and climbing. The war continues full tilt with no end in sight. For every 1,000 draftees, 234 are killed or wounded in the conflict. A handful of young men, including college students and a theologian from the Newman Center at the U of M, are busted by the FBI for raiding draft board offices across the state. Dubbed the "Minnesota Eight" by the press, they are tried for conspiracy, convicted and sent to federal prison. Were their crimes heroic acts of civil disobedience or acts of terrorism?Patriotism or treason? "Peace crimes" or just crimes?

Peace Crimes Backstage will be broadcast on TPT-Channel 17 on Sunday, April 20 at 6:30 p.m.
