George Clooney Joins Prop 8 Play Reading through in La

George Clooney happens to be political, although not political enough to honestly entertain ideas of running for office. "Take a look at my existence and check out everyone else's existence in politics," he stated throughout press for 'The Ides of March' in October. "Why would I ever wish to accomplish that? I am getting an excellent time." Indeed! Besides, if he was running for office, it's doubtful Clooney would have the ability to take part in such lightning fishing rod occasions, just like a reading through from the play '8' in La this March. Compiled by Dustin Lance Black ('Milk,' 'J. Edgar'), '8' is really a play that concentrates on "research and transcripts from Perry v. Schwarzenegger, this years federal court fight that worked using the legitimacy of Prop. 8, the questionable ballot initiative that outlawed same-sex marriage in California. The judge within the situation ruled that Prop. 8 was unconstitutional, however the decision continues to be become a huge hit." Clooney may be the first actor introduced for that reading through, which is held on March 8, 2012, within the Wilshire Ebell Theatre. Stated Clooney inside a statement: "It's astonishing that lgbt People in america continue to be treated as second-class people. I'm certain that, soon, the laws and regulations of the nation will reflect the fundamental truth that lgbt people -- like several people -- are born equal in dignity and privileges." Not sure yet on other stars who'll participate, but you may expect huge roster of talent. Additionally to Clooney and also the Oscar-winning Black, Take advantage of Reiner will direct the staged reading through.
