Scene leads director to pull plug on play

The Vermont Theater Company has canceled this weekend's performances of "The Lift," after the director received a complaint over his casting of a teenager in a suggestive scene.

There must be more to this story. I would like to know the full truth. What about Pereira-Bailey's rights? He can vote, and enlist in the military and die in combat, but he cannot play this part? Let's hear the whole truth.

I'd like to know the name of this person who shut this show down. I never knew there was one person with so much power, and, considering I usually offend at least three people before lunch, I think it would be important to know who may raise their all powerful sword of censorship against me.

sounds like a fox news 'believer' was the culprit.
how could one person cause a shutdown like that? i wanna know who it was, make them accountable to the public who they have denied the pleasure of this play.

And just what does the number one cable news network have to do with it?

Take your head out of the sand. It might do you some good to hear BOTH sides of the issues, not just your side. Watch Juan Williams, or Mara Liasson of NPR on Fox News Channel. Listen to Mort Kondrake whose late wife said she would vote for the Devil before voting for a republican. Oh and the executives of Fox News are Democrats. And Roger Ailes is responsible for the success of Phil Donahue, a well known Liberal.

But you probably don't want to hear both sides of the issues. It'll make you think.

sheesh, talk about true believers! tell the truth, crafter, were you the one?
i listen to and watch fox news and msnbc every night (staggered times for the different shows)so i can pretty much tell whos on what side of which issue.

Yes, Fox is not a liberal network, and that bothers you, doesn't it? And no, I am not the one who complained. I could care less about that. And I am not a rabid neocon either. I want to hear BOTH sides of an issue, not just the liberal side. When I see a topic I want to see people on both sides of the aisle discussing it. Not two democrats. Unlike you,I like to make informed decisions. MSNBC has decided they are going to be the "anti Fox" station. And evidently both viewers like it.
But I sure hope you're not one of those that wants to have People like Limbaugh or Hannity removed from the airways, are you? Do you think they should be taken off the air? Or do you believe as I do, that if you don't like what they say, you can change the channel?
