Her feet grip yoga mats; his hit the pavement at 0500 hrs for daily PT. His hair is shaved high and tight; hers grows long for the first time. They are both children of the same hippie-cum-yuppie parents. They are both trying to exercise their rights: his Second Amendment and her First. So she teaches middle school English and he is an army recon sniper. On November 7th, 2006, Liza's 19-year-old brother enlisted in the US Army. Not Hasbro's Real American Hero, Joe is a G.I. now. He's Government Issue. From boot camp to an imminent deployment in May, "American Joe" traces the back-and-forth connection and rejection between brother and sister, soldier and pacifist, warrior and writer. It is the story of the effect one life en route to battle has had on the lives around him. Joe is headed to Afghanistan in America 's war on terror and Liza is coming to the Marsh to tell her side of the story.

“A free-spirited activist, playwright and performer, Glaser is on a mission to use her activism and her art -- and even her naked torso if need be -- to draw attention onstage and off to how our society has lost its way on the road to equality, dignity and true decency. ‘Our breasts say more than words,’ says Glaser, a writer who knows that words alone can be easily disregarded, but bodies are harder to ignore.” Jessica Werner, SF Chronicle

“The progressive movement has found their comedic muse and she rocks!" Paul Hawken, Activist and Author

“BREAST” features a trio of outrageous characters who all challenge the status quo in

different ways. Miguel De Cervantes (last seen at The Marsh in 2006 in Glaser’s critically acclaimed run of OH MY GODDESS!) opens the evening with a call for a shift in the male archetype and paradigm. He is followed by Mother Superior, an evangelical, spiritual leader who has questions for the Lord and a mandate for a mighty prayer. This section includes audience participation. Finally, SAM SLAM (Super Lesbian Activist Mother) brings the power of “Breasts Not Bombs” (Glaser is co-founder of the notorious anti-war group) to sublime life in a passionate plea to SAVE THE WORLD immediately.

Glaser, who calls her work “Peace Activist Revolution Theater” or "PART" (as in do your "PART"), will combine her performances with several ‘peace actions’ around San Francisco. She is the author and star of Off-Broadway's longest running one-woman show “Family Secrets.”
