Believe it or not, there is still something called a bipartisan event in this world where neither liberal nor conservative viewpoints are held over the other.

One such event is taking place tomorrow at Webster's Bookstore Café's warehouse, 133 S. Allen St.

New York-based theater company West 50th Street Productions contacted various community and professional theaters across the nation this month in hopes of getting them to perform a readers' theater event of sorts called Dear George: Letters to the President. The performance is based on a collection of actual letters compiled by West 50th Street about President George W. Bush, both positive and negative.

Susanna Ritti, president of the State College Community Theater, received the request to put on the show. "While considering venues, Webster's seemed the most appropriate choice," Ritti said. "Theater organizations have used Webster's as a venue for readers' theater before and I thought of them immediately for the project."

The show has been assembled rather quickly, and Webster's co-owner Elaine Meder hopes people understand that the event is neither pro- nor anti-Bush.

"We're treating this with an air of spontaneity and urgency," Meder said. "This is not meant to be a partisan event. It's important for Bush supporters to hear how angry one side is and vice versa."

Interwoven with the readings will be performances by The Plastic Ona Band (featuring PM Kellermann and Friends).

Paul Kellermann, the group's organizer, said the act will consist solely of John Lennon covers.

"I'll do some of the usual suspects," he said, alluding to some of the tunes he will cover. "I can't imagine not doing some of his material. I'll have to give some pieces a chance."

Covering Lennon seemed like a clear choice to Kellermann from the start. "It just seemed appropriate to do John Lennon songs because I suspect if he were alive, he'd be out front," he said. "[Bruce] Springsteen or Pearl Jam would be opening for him," he added, referring to the recent "Vote for Change" concerts touring swing states nationwide in support of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry.

The band named originated from a combination of The Plastic Ono Band and Kellermann's dog, Ona, short for onomatopoeia.

"I expect Ona will stay home for the show, although I'm sure he could do as good a job on backing vocals as Yoko did," he said.

Kellermann makes no attempt to hide his liberal inclinations, even to his students, but makes sure to keep his powers of persuasion an extracurricular activity and out of the classroom.

"My political affiliations don't surprise my students, but it's not my job to shove it down their throats," he said. "I wanted a more unfiltered venue to speak. It all came together in my head when I went to see Yo La Tengo at The Darkhorse [Tavern]. It occurred to me that I don't have to be Bruce and raise hundreds of millions of dollars. Doing it for a cause seemed like a perfect compromise."

Despite Kellermann's declared liberal leanings, Meder and Ritti thought his act would fit well with the evening's performance.

"I'm not afraid of people thinking it's more of a liberal type of program," Ritti said. "And if they do, [they should] come to it because that's only half the story. ... We invite all the different perspectives on politics because all the different perspectives will be represented."
