Kinda veering off on a tangent here, but has anyone else found politics intruding into their theater attendance? This morning our local paper carried a photo of a dress rehearsal for a university production of “Streetcar Named Desire” and Stella is FAT. I’m not talking curvaceous or voluptuous, I’m talking FAT. Stanley, down on his knees and hugging her legs, is the same muscular hunk as Marlon Brando. Knowing our university theater department, I can guess this mismatch is some kind of political statement. We attend far fewer theater productions because there are often surprises of this sort.
