I'm covered in chihuahua's.

They're on my lap, playing on the ground and getting underneath my feet and they're adorable!

When they're quiet as they are now.

Of course as I thought and typed that one started barking as a passing car. *sigh*

I'm excited about the show that's coming in from NYC that I'm doing props/set for with Insight Out. Much more

Love the politics, cringe at the lack of artistry. But it is another role of theatre and while I may be a snob, I love that theatre is being used to bring to light social issues by run of the mill folk.

I feel just the opposite. I'd never act to stifle someone's expression, but I would prefer that folks in theater focus on the art first and foremost. There was a film festival down here last week which I got excited about until I discovered that most of the films were about political or social issues that I cared very little to see a film about. None of the films seemed very promising with regard to acting, writing, or character exposition, which I like to think are the things where independent cinema should excel.

I would agree with you.

But there is another role that theatre can play as a tool for social awareness. Now I feel that this should be done with a high level of artistry to bring it into the realm of theatre. Otherwise it's glorified role-playing.

Hmmm... maybe I'm changing my position...
