    Speak Up! Speak Out! Bread & Puppet Theater is on view at the Benton through October 11. The 50-year retrospective of the theater company’s work features their activist responses to fundamental political and social issues that have defined American culture, including the war in Vietnam; Central American turmoil and Liberation Theology; the politics of black liberation as represented by the Attica prison uprising and the M.O.V.E. family in Philadelphia; opposition to nuclear weapons and nuclear power; and the war in Iraq. 

    Admission to the film is FREE.
