I’ve been very concerned about your theater habit Pete. Honestly*, just yesterday I was considering calling on my couch fellows to consider staging a dramatic act of intervention! You travel to other faraway cities in order to get your fix! You seem to spend all your time thinking about acting, stage design, stage left this, stage right that, I mean, heavens to Murgatroyd Pete, you’re so hooked that you indoctrinate innocent youth into the seamy, sinful world of fantasy land! C’mon Pete, what about the children? Do we really want our innocent children growing up believing that all the world’s a stage, that we are merely players, performers, and portrayers? Do you know how many actors end up unemployed, on welfare, living on skid row, lives totally destroyed? Well neither do I, but I say even one is too many.
(*Just another instance of that confounding synchronicity in my life. C’mon, one day I think about posting the above, decide it’s just too stupid and discard the idea, and the very next day you post the above, forcing my hand? What the heck is up with that??)
Well, the prohibitionists have been at work to save society from theater before. For 20 years in the 17th century the theaters in London were closed to preserve the morals of the people. Handel had to disguise his operatic theater as religious music to get around this, hence The Messiah.
Soon there will be street gangs dealing in theatre, and violence will follow:

I didn’t realize that there were gay gangs before. Then again the scariest guy I’ve ever met wasn’t just gay, he was Liberace gay. You just didn’t want to get into a fight with that guy. Well unless you thought you might enjoy getting your ass kicked.
Now these are tough guys, no doubt:

Dead Poets Society, anyone?
But think of the money. Once the DEA bans theatre, ticket demand and admission prices will skyrocket.
When you consider what criminals will cut theater with,,adding to the dangers and stigma already surrounding theater,it will triple the attendance,exposing even more of our children to this evil disease of expanding peoples imagination.
OMG. I knew flash mobs were being cooked up in basements, trailers, and mobile mob labs.
you’ll get the Kardashians? All cutting agent and no substance?
Friends don’t let friends do theatre….?
