Miami Theater Cancels My Name is Rachel Corrie Play

HeadlineApr 06, 2007

A play featuring the writings of the late American peace activist Rachel Corrie has been silenced for the third time in just over a year. The Mosaic Theatre in Miami has announced it has cancelled “My Name is Rachel Corrie” after protests from some of the theater’s subscribers and outside individuals. Corrie was the 23-year-old American activist who was crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer in Gaza in March 2003. Last year, both the New York Theatre Workshop and the Canadian theater company CanStage pulled productions of the play.
