Worthy of a Fight

Last year, Kevin Spacey spoke at The Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. on behalf of artists in our society who are fighting to protect what many in our local, state, and federal governments are snuffing out though the reduction of funding.  Spacey makes a great argument as he highlights the influence Abraham Lincoln had on the arts in our country.   When President Lyndon Johnson signed into existence the National Endowment for the Arts, he said, “Art is a nation’s most precious heritage.  For it is on our works of arts that we reveal to ourselves and to others the inner vision which guides us as a nation.  And where there is no vision, the people perish.“

To all of the community, regional, and commercial theatre groups struggling to survive…keep fighting for your art.  This is a cause worthy of a fight
