Through amazing and magical artistry, EO 9066, is an object theater
production (puppetry for the 21st century) that will capitivate your
visual senses!

EO 9066 presents the story that the world should know in an object
media-friendly manner which is appropriate for audiences, young and
old. (Note: there is one short battle scene).

Using a Japanese tea set, table cloth, sand, brown paper, and old
suitcase, the ensemble creates the poignant and moving story of one
family's forced evacuation from their home in Berkeley to Topaz, Utah
during WWII and their return at the end of the war.

Following the show will be a Q&A with CATS, JAMsj, JACL, NOC and
the puppeteers.

"Leibe Wetzel's EO 9066 (is) serious stuff...timely...a reflection on
the erosion of civil liberties in times of national
crisis...performed (with) the Wetzel ensemble's usual, often
astonishly creative use of found objects." SF Chronicle

"In a nearly silent 60-minute puppet show, Liebe Wetzel and her crew
create more emotion and eloquence than most dialogue-filled plays can
produce in two hours...one stirring image after another. " Oakland
Tribune

This production is made possible by grants from Applied Materials,
Arts Council Silicon Valley, CM Capital, Community Foundation Silicon
Valley, Packard Foundation and the wonderful members of CATS.
