It is the point when defense contractors also suck off the public teat. Corporate welfare. Puts dollars in Dick Cheney's pockets.

If any of you haven’t seen one of the Wilson plays performed at the Penumbra yet, I strongly recommend that you don’t miss this one.

Boo Penumbra! They appear to be one of the theaters that doesn’t see fit to provide accessible performances.
(or if they do, I can’t find any mention of it on their web site)

What do you mean the Penumbra doesn’t provide accessible performances? You mean they don’t translate August Wilson into entitled-white-idiot-on-a-bike-ese for you?
Go see this play. No car ` excuse.

What’s html for the “doesn’t equal” sign? Why didn’t that work?

mnblrmkr is hard of hearing, Marsh.

OH, SO NOW I’M THE ASSHOLE?

Sorry mnblrmkr. My bad. I’m new around here.
C’mon, Penumbra.

I really didn’t mean to flame a hearing-challenged person here. Really. Had no idea.

OH, SO NOW I’M THE ASSHOLE?
er, no comment.
MNspeak warning. Marsh is off his meds again. Ypu’ve been warned.
6:58 am
It’s an off-meds situation? Had figured maybe it was a self-medicating issue of some kind…

I’m glad it was Marsh who made that mistake. You can easily see how accessibility in relation to theatre could be an issue of the performance material.
