Theater and Politics Collide
President and Mrs. Obama took the night off to go see a show on Broadway. Full story here.
I'm especially proud that they chose a night at the theater for their date, and that they chose to see Joe Turner's Come and Gone, a show that my good buddy Mike Zaleski is currently working!
Hope they liked the show, and I hope they inspired people who wouldn't normally chose to go to the theater to consider it for their next date night!
And on a similar politics/theater note, the state of Texas has passed a really stupid law that essentially outlaws all theatrical lighting designers currently working. Full story here.
Texas, it's time to think before we legislate.
