Please join us in a merrye publik reading of "The People of the State of California vs. Lou Gottlieb"

A re-enactment of the 1971 court hearing of Lou Gottlieb's defense of his constitutional right to give his land to God, based on Sonoma County court transcripts and briefs

In 1969, facing a State ordered injunction against letting people live

• n his 31 acre Morning Star Ranch, Lou Gottlieb signed over the title
• f his property to God.

His motivation was both complex and simple: an attempt keep this land

• pen for all who needed it and all who loved it, in perpetuity. He

saw in this act an opening for remediation of the earth and of human relations. \ He wrote, ..."if land is held as a source of profit, that opens a certain pattern of reactive behavior which is very well-established..... How really should we live on the earth when we are not concerned at least with this tiny, little pilot study with maximizing the net?"

Join us for a lively reading and discussion

Presented by Sarah Lewison and Erin McGonigle

with very special guests 'playing' members of the court
