Sacrifice

After a lengthy absence from live performance I found my self wedged in a seat at Theater on the Square in Indianapolis. The production was "Sacrifice" , an original and first play from co-writers Marcus May and Caleb Nunez. Both have experience in short films and a life long love of the arts. The play is about racial tension between two families, one black and one Latino. Leading the Latino family is Ernesto, a building super who's wife was killed many years earlier by a young black male. Ernesto, engagingly played by Joe Vanegas, cannot let go of this life altering experience and as a result has a distrust of African Americans and a prejudice born of pain. His daughter Ana, played by Brittany Crone, views the world through a different lens, one of tolerance and acceptance of diversity. She tries to soften her father's views but to no avail. Enter the new tenants in the building, the black family father and son Antonio and Trey. When Trey meets Ana sparks begin

Weiner Savages P.T.S.D. Veteran

Conservatainer Michael Savage attacked one of his callers during a discussion concerning a recent suggestion in California that some tunnel be renamed after Robin Williams to highlight mental health awareness. The caller, a veteran suffering from P.T.S.D. , said he thought it was a good idea if it would help draw attention to mental health issues in this country. This angered Savage, most things do and he lit into the vet rapidly tearing him down and screeching that we don't need to focus on mental health in this country. He made a point of personally ripping this vet a new one and mocking his suffering. Savage told him he's not the only one with problems so boo hoo. He went on to say that mental health awareness is why we got Obama as President. Uh? For all of Savage's alleged formal education he says amazingly stupid things. Anyone who would call his show is clearly a fan, why shred one so unmercifully, particularly a veteran suffering from P.T.S.D. Which war was it
