Hello from Yazz Allen '66!
Here's a notice by current Antioch College Kelly O'Keefe '08 who organized a benefit to oppose the Antioch College closedown set for July 2008 announced by the Antioch University Board Of Trustees last month (June 2007).
THE ANTIOCH ADVENTURE PART ONE (1967) is a classic student made movie about student life and travails at Antioch College, Ohio, in the 1960's starring John Draper '71, who presently lives in Dayton, Ohio USA and will made a personal appearence at the Little Art Theatre in Yellow Springs, Ohio where the 3 PM, July 21, 2007 movie benefit will be held. John Draper co-starred with Jessica Lipnack '70, and both actors re-appeared in the sequel ANTIOCH ADVENTURE PART TWO (1991) movie as parents of Antioch College students portrayed in PART TWO by Steve Oliver '90 and Danielle Giudici '89.
Here is the notice which appeared today on the Antioch College alumni chatline, placed there by current Antioch College student Kelly O'Keefe '08, one of many current Antioch College students in solidarity with Antioch College alumni everywhere opposing the closedown of Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, set for July 2008 and mandated by the absentee Antioch University Board Of Trustees based in Seattle Washinton USA.
Interestingly, Steve Oliver '90, the star of THE ANTIOCH ADVENTURE PART TWO (1991), a brilliantly made sequel to PART ONE written, directed and produced by Antiochian Thanos Fatouros '88, currently lives in Seattle WA USA where area Antioch College alumni may hold an Antioch Movie Meeting where Oliver will appear, as John Draper will appear at the Yellow Springs, Ohio benefit.
-------------------------
Just a reminder to all of those alumni who are in the Yellow
Springs/Dayton/Columbus area:
The Antioch Adventure Benefit is today!
It's at three in the afternoon, at the Little Art Theatre. We're showing
the movie, and then we have a few special speakers making commentary about
the making of the movie and Antioch and Yellow Springs in the 60's. Our
star guest, John Draper, was the lead male role!
There will be a reception afterwards with Antioch T-shirts, dvds and other
fun treats!
