Finkelstein Memorial Library
3rd Floor Fielding RoomPresenter: Phoenix Theatre Ensemble
Join us for a live performance of "Murrow" presented by the Phoenix Theatre Ensemble!
Murrow covers Edward R. Murrow’s rise from the very beginnings of Columbia Broadcasting Systems to onsite reports during the 1940’s bombing of London, the liberation of Buchenwald, and finally to the on-air collapse of Senator Joe McCarthy’s “Red Scare” campaign to expose communists in the US Federal Government and elsewhere.
More than just a biographical look at an icon and pioneer of American broadcast journalism, Murrow is a stinging indictment of the contemporary corporate-media complex.
