... Ted Pappas, head of the Pittsburgh Public Theater, has a similar take on the current influence of politics on theater. "I'm feeling a trickle-down effect from the anxiety we're all feeling -- politically, economically and in terms of safety." In such times, he says, two things happen: "Audiences become more conservative with spending and leaving home, and artists become braver about tackling issues. I think that happens consistently in our history -- we shouldn't be surprised. Audiences become more cautious and artists braver."...

...he thought the massive new mural on Northeast Campus Parkway would "last forever," David Vera put a lot of thought into his portion of it. The 15-year-old painted a figure floating in red, white and blue, with the word "Sane" spelled out in graffiti-style lettering. Although the mural involving 40 young artists, designers, art students and middle-schoolers is city-sanctioned, certain city officials are saying parts of it look too much like graffiti, and they want those portions, including Vera's, removed. "I thought I was part of a legal wall," a disappointed Vera said. "I don't understand what changed."... how can a style be illegal?... (pc pricks)
Update 9.29.04: On second thought, city officials said yesterday, the new mural on Northeast Campus Parkway can stay.

"We must all unite and work for whoever opposes Bush, regardless of whatever differences we may have."...
