                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) September 26, 2006 -- As companies across the nation paid almost $48 million in Sexual Harassment &#8220;merit resolution&#8221; awards in 2005, Life Theatre Services founder Cynthia Cristilli and business partner Molly Goode staged their own branded reality show on this topic in California businesses.



&#8220;We specialize in delivering reality-based dramatizations about complex social issues and interactive &#8220;talking back&#8221; educational workshops,&#8221; says Cynthia Cristilli. &#8220;Our programs offer an accessible and safe way in which participants can engage in the learning process. Whether it&#8217;s Sexual Harassment, HIV/AIDS, or Domestic Violence, an hour&#8217;s worth of telling cannot achieve what ten minutes of showing burns into memory,&#8221; says Cristilli. 

&#8220;What&#8217;s unique about Life Theatre&#8217;s training approach is that real-life illustrations are performed by an ensemble cast of professional actors.  A trained facilitator stands &#8220;outside the dramatization&#8221; to lead the audience discussion with the characters and reinforce key training points,&#8221; says Molly Goode. &#8220; While scripted to demonstrate some of the subtle and not so subtle issues taking place onstage, the actors are free to improvise. We&#8217;re never sure where the audience will go during the &#8216;talking back&#8217; discussion,&#8221; says Goode. 

Fueled by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger&#8217;s signing State Assembly Bill 1825 into law effective January 2005, Cristilli and Goode researched and then designed a series of real-life illustrations about Sexual Harassment to help bring California businesses with 50 or more employees into compliance by year-end.  They continue to help clients meet the statute&#8217;s ongoing training requirement.  

Engaging clients as diverse as their company&#8217;s repertoire, Cristilli and Goode&#8217;s training reality-shows have garnered accolades&#8212;from internationally recognized financial, hospitality, health care and pharmaceutical corporations&#8212;to law firms, educational and non-profit organizations.  The team won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Achievement in Current Affairs for a &#8220;Talking Back&#8221; series segment co-produced with ABC Affiliate KGO/Channel 7, San Francisco  during 1999. 

Recognized as pioneers in bringing compassion and sensitivity to HIV/AIDS Awareness Education, Life Theatre Services spotlights real-life training solutions on Diversity, Ethics, Gender/Sexuality Bias, Work and Health Issues, Aging, Senior Care &#38; Family, Sexual Harassment, Customer Service, Conflict Resolution, Employee Empowerment, Domestic Violence, and Substance Abuse.

To schedule an interview with Cynthia Cristilli and Molly Goode, contact Nancy Dyal at 415.533.7124. 

Life Theatre Services is a San Francisco, California-based private company founded in 1992. The company provides customized real-life training solutions about complex social issues to corporations, educational institutions, and non-profits.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[(PRWEB) September 20, 2006 -- On Christmas Eve, 1895, in a St. Louis saloon, &quot;Stag&quot; Lee Shelton shot Billy Lyons during an argument over a Stetson Hat. More than 100 years and as many songs later, Bay Area authors Derek McCulloch and Shepherd Hendrix take an entertaining and bold look at that &quot;Bad Man Behind The Myth &#38; Song&quot; in their new graphic novel, STAGGER LEE.



McCulloch and Hendrix launch a &quot;STAGGER LEE 101&quot; tour at Berkeley&#039;s Comic Relief  book store on September 30 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., &quot;101&quot; presentation at 7:30 p.m. followed by book signing. Wear a Stetson Hat and win a prize. The authors travel to St. Louis in November for scheduled appearances. 

&quot;From the moment I first read the history that inspired the legend, I knew it was a uniquely powerful story just waiting to be told to a new generation,&quot; says writer Derek McCulloch.  &quot;The songs and legends about Stagger Lee represent a very rich vein of the American experience,&quot; says McCulloch.  McCulloch&#039;s long-time friend and  collaborator, graphic artist Shepherd Hendrix, offers up a little practical advice: &quot;Don&#039;t touch anyone&#039;s hat. Especially if they&#039;re mean and packin&#039; heat.&quot; 

Chances are you&#039;ve heard about Stagger Lee in one of the many recordings available by artists like Ma Rainey, Mississippi John Hurt, Lloyd Price, Bob Dylan, The Clash, Ike and Tina Turner, and Nick Cave. McCulloch and Hendrix listened to more than 30 renditions for inspiration while writing and drawing their book. STAGGER LEE explores this mythical translation in song handed down over the years. The authors weave together and intricate fictional narrative using available historical record, a twist or two when facts are missing, and a  rare social perspective on nineteenth century culture, language, politics and race. 

Since its release in May from publisher Image Comics, Inc., STAGGER LEE  has garnered critical acclaim from Entertainment Weekly, Publishers Weekly, Miami Herald, St. Louis &#8211;Dispatch, Library Journal, grassroots bloggers, and legendary rock critic and historian, Greil Marcus.
