On March 16th, 2003, 23-year-old peace activist Rachel Corrie was crushed by a bulldozer on the Gaza strip, attempting to save a Palestinian home. Taken directly from her diaries, and edited by Alan Rickman and Katherine Viner, My Name is Rachel Corrie is a heart-thrilling tale of one woman’s search for peace and justice in a war torn world. This production is made possible through support by Pace University’s Office of Multicultural Affairs, Sociology/Anthropology department, Theater and Performing Arts Department, Project Pericles, and Pforzheimer Honor’s College.
