ABBIE
The story of Abbie Hoffman, performed on stage by Bern Cohen.

Tickets: $20; students, $10. [Purchase online here]

Abbie Hoffman embodies the Sixties like no other activist. As the most outspoken
leader of the counter-culture’s revolution, he remains one of the best-known figures
from one of America’s most turbulent times.

Abbie begins as a 1987 lecture delivered by Hoffman, and is based entirely on his speeches and writings.

“You couldn’t ask for a better meeting of subject and performer. . . .Abbie is heartfelt.”
