"I do find the theatre avant garde, at least as illustrated by the theatre bloggers, to be elitist, snobby, classist, and intolerant of anyone outside their clique. They demonstrate a lockstep that is creepy in the extreme." - Scott Walters, here

Oh my God. Theatre blogging is therefore innately Republican. Oh my God.

Everyone's favorite instigator.

Oh, me? Oh I'm positively demure.

I think he was talking about Walters.

Yeah, I think Freeman sums it up. I find it useful to engage Walters in discussion, but once it goes to the argumentative place, I know it's going to get ugly. Fast. I doubt if he even really meant that, or rather, if, asked in a calm moment a week from now if he meant it, if he'd say yes.

Wow, I hate to agree, but I kind of do. Sorry to say but theater didn't used to be made my people with advanced degrees. A friend use to joke about Ivy League Actors being sort of oxymoronic...or maybe it was just moronic...it was a while ago.

Leonard Jacobs said...

Does that mean I have to instigate harder? Oh, but I'm instigating as fast as I can...

You do? Tell us more, Ludlow Lad!

Hi Guys. Just thought I'd drop a note in even though I'm nowhere near NYC. ;)
