Perhaps the organizers of the “Is L.A. a Theater Town” panel discussion were being a bit presumptuous.
No, I’m not talking about the big theaters/little theaters controversy reported here. I’m talking about the assumption that Los Angeles is the only town with the initials L.A.
What about Los Alamos, New Mexico? Or….okay, what about Los Alamos, New Mexico?
So in the interest of fairness, I ask: Is Los Alamos a theater town?
Located about 882 miles from Los Angeles, Los Alamos does have an arts and crafts fair, a chalk walk, a series of coffee house concerts, a kite festival, and a potentially interesting Samba Project.
Alas, the only theater touted by the Los Alamos Arts Council is an annual visit from the Montana-based Missoula Children’s Theater.
So, no, Los Alamos is not a theater town.
At least, not yet.—Lou Harry
There's so much heat being generated in the Engine28 newsroom, it can't be contained in actual, ya' know, real stories. So the e28 blog is here to take up some of the overflow. You'll see our selection of what's worth reading in other publications and blogs, short hits on things that caught our attention, and some spin and polish on stories we've grown to care about. Or not... You be the judge.
I love that the NEA is paying for this “content” and “education in arts journalism.”
