Brad Pitt Joins Cast of '8' Play Reading

He should go take an acting class instead.

“Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples. The Constitution simply does not allow for laws of this sort.”

The story for “8″ is framed by the trial’s historic closing arguments in June 2010, and features the best arguments and testimony from both sides. Scenes include flashbacks to some of the more jaw-dropping moments from trial, such as the admission by the Proposition 8 supporters’ star witness, David Blankenhorn, that “we would be more American on the day we permitted same-sex marriage than we were on the day before.”

“People need to witness what happened in the Proposition 8 trial, if for no other reason than to see inequality and discrimination unequivocally rejected in a court of law where truth and facts matter,” said Black. “I’ve built my career around exposing and uncovering ‘the real story.’ The goal of ’8′ is to show the world that marriage equality is a basic constitutional right and that those who would deny this basic freedom from loving, committed couples have only vitriol and baseless hyperbole to fall back on. The facts are on our side and truth always finds the light. We are doing all we can to help speed that process along.”

“Because this case involves the constitutional rights of millions of people, it is especially important for the public to see what happened during the trial,” said AFER Executive Director Adam Umhoefer. “Both sides had an equal opportunity and ample resources to assemble their strongest teams and put forth their absolute best arguments in an impartial setting. Viewed side-by-side there is simply no question that there was only one decision the court could have reached. The moment we knew the trial would not be publicly broadcast we immediately began planning to find a way to show the world what happened in this historic case. This play and our partnership with YouTube and Broadway Impact allow us to do exactly that.”

“8″ had its much-heralded Broadway world premiere reading on September 19, 2011, at the sold-out Eugene O’Neill Theatre in New York City. The benefit brought in over $1 million to support AFER’s efforts to achieve full federal marriage equality.

Throughout 2012, AFER and Broadway Impact are licensing”8″ for free to colleges and community theatres nationwide in order to spur dialogue, understanding and action. Most performances will be followed by a talkback where cast and audience members can discuss the issues presented in the Perry v. Schwarzenegger trial.

“I was lucky enough to watch the closing arguments of Perry v. Schwarzenegger in San Francisco,” said Broadway Impact co-founder Rory O’Malley (Tony Award-nominee for The Book of Mormon). “We knew then and there that audiences needed to see and hear this story live, as we had done. ’8′ builds on a successful tradition of documentary theatre–plays like The Laramie Project and The ****** Monologues, which inspire us with their combination of art and activism. We are thrilled to partner with AFER to bring this story to a national audience.”

ANISTON SENDS ANGIE FLOWERS @ 03/01/2012 at 9:43 am +1

Hi peeps you knew sooner or later, Huvane was going to attach Manistons name to the beautiful Angie especially after Wanderlust flopped big time. The latest headlines are “Aniston sends Angie flowers after watching ITLOBAH, telling Angie it was beautifully written and directed”. Not only that, it says that Maniston is so happy now that she is in a relationship that she is willing to let the past go. This is HUVANE TACTICS 101 – deflect the bombing of Wanderlust by attaching Maniston to Angie, that way people will start talking about the two instead of the bombed movie – nice job Huvane. NOT.

@But the real question is…..:

Maybe. But we know for sure you will be in every JP threads making an @ss out of yourself.

@Lara:#4 Fans also check out JJB.yuku.com, pages 210, 211, 212, and 213 beautiful photos of Brad and Angie. Thanks Lara.

This is sad and i think Brad’s Aunty might have just burnt her bridges with the family. The tabloid “Sun” has a picture of Brad & Angie & Brad’s entire family back in 2008 when they visited. It appears grandma is complaining that Brad has never gone to see her again and she is asking to see him . The thing that bothers me is instead of the Aunty picking up the phone and calling Brad or the family, she sells the story to a tabloid, complete with a photograph. But one thing is for sure, Brad’s family loves Angie coz the entire clan is in that photo and the Aunty & grandma have good things to say about Angie,contrary to what Jen’s fans think.

Aniston can stick her flowers up Huvies a**.

If clooney is ok with people thinkng he is gay than why was he upset when Brad said Angelina and him would get married when George could?

Cuz Porgie’s a big fat liar, that’s why. He cares that people think he’s gay. He’s just not going to admit it because it looks like an admittance to being gay or thinking that being gay is wrong or a sin. That would be insulting a whole demographic of Oscar voters that he may need in the future. God forbid he should lose the gay, old white man Academy members. That sounds comical but if you think about the entertainment industry that’s probably a significant number of voters.
