Please join me and contacting "The Public Theater" of NYC and voicing our opinions of their latest disgraceful, treasonous play.
This modern day adaptation substitutes President of the United States Donald Trump for Julius Caesar. The distinguished POTUS is then knifed down on stage to cheers from the brainwashed maniacs who actually pay to see these sodomites frolic around like fairies.

Those leftist schmucks would love that we find this offensive. Better to target the sponsors. Several big ones have withdrawn their support already.
Won’t do any good and I think this kind of behavior reinforces what we know about the left and advertises their cruelty and idiocy. Reaction to a play about (insert liberal woman’s name) being raped by gangs would certainly be interesting, and probably indictable in the left’s mind.
Why bother? These Leftist a$$holes revel in getting communications from pi$$ed off Conservatives. Going after some of their donors is a much more fruitful exercise. Stenching the money to perpetuate this trash is much more effective.
Did my part to the donor email address:
Substituting a caricature of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, for Julius Caesar so that your actors can administer a bloody slaughter by stabbings on stage may be satisfying to a segment of your supporters. I hope not, but it is difficult to understand the depths to which the partisan can plummet.
You should be aware that this disgraceful exercise has mobilized a groundswell of opposition to the use which public space & public & private monies are being utilized. There will be a blow back against not only this production but against NEA and PBS since they are already associated in American minds with tasteless and offensive productions such as Mapplethorpe.
The lack of judgement and of fiduciary responsibility shown by your organization in this matter is truly staggering and should give pause to both your corporate sponsors and individual donors.
I note that in the still photo I saw 100% (all three) of the assailants were black.
How is associating blacks with violent behavior not racist?
Art is the thermometer in the ass of society.
Did good for me and my conscience.
Here is the call UPDATE:
10:40 AM EST:
I placed to the Taub Box Office: 212.967.7555
I had to press “ZERO” to get an ticket both representative.
I then requested 10 tickets for the front row of the next Julius Caesar showing.
She asked “Are you a Donor?”
I said “no”.
Then I explained, “I need 10 tickers for the bathroom, so that I can use them and then flush them down the toilet.”
I continued, “I haven’t been to a theatrical production in 15 years. I have no plans to start now, that is for sure.
I added, “That I don’t see hardly any movies in the Theater, maybe 1 every 2 years.”
I explained, “I will be use the hundreds of dollars to instead purchase Donald Trump hats, shirts, bumper stickers and put them everywhere while proudly wearing my Trump attire.”
I told them, “you should be feel disgraced and ashamed of your latest publicity stunt and that I hope it backfires on them, IN A VERY BIG WAY.”
All I heard was breathing after I was done red pilling this poor soul, not one word was uttered.
Good riddance to these disgusting, Godless, limp wristed, hormone injecting cowards.
Keep fighting the good fight!
Don’t FEAR these spineless creatures from the pit, and their defeated master.
Well said.
As I recall, the “art” known as “Piss Christ” (the “artist’s name for his “art”) ,was subsidized by the National Endowment for the Arts.
Yes, these people have the right to produce patently offensive “art” or “theater productions”, and we all have the right to criticize, and ask that our tax money not subsidize such filth.
Freedom of expression and all that, goes both ways. The liberals act as if it they can have their cake and eat it too.
The perpetrators of this obscenity should be reminded that with our sacred right to Free Speech comes a moral imperative, would we be worthy of such rights, to use it in the service of the true, the good and the beautiful.
They should subject themselves as censors that play, would they be worthy of the name human.
What’s to keep some from making plays where news media towers like CNN or NBC come crumbling down? What’s to keep someone from making videos taking the life of obama? Other liberal politicians? Or leftist celebrities like Alec Baldwin? And those taking action against the leftist extremists being portrayed as heros?
HOW WOULD THE LEFT RESPOND?
Persoanally, I would not like to,see it come to that so the left needs to realize that there are other sides to a coin.
Thanks Dilbert. Fiduciary is a word that gets nonprofits nervous. It evokes the specter of personal consequences for lack of judgement.
The “intelligentsia” have had it all their way since Worhol’s Campbell soup can art work hit the scene and the philistines were unable to appreciate its subtlety. I am hoping that the wind that is sweeping our Nation will blow them back into a small self admiring niche, that the rest of us can easily ignore and not unwittingly support.
Over the years the disconnect between the Avant-garde and the rest of us has been widening. Their sneering depravity continues to grow as does their repudiation of the virtues that enabled this Nation’s creation, and provided the environment that supports their self centered expressions.
The sponsors need to be boycotted, especially CNN, whose parent company Time Warner is a sponsor.
.....” with our sacred right to Free Speech comes a moral imperative”......
Libs have no morals as we see every day of the week, and they surly don’t care if everyone knows this as they label everyone who disagrees... using the various “isms” and “phobia’s” they’ve designed to tear down anyone who who stands for morals.
This is going to increase more and more to expect anything less is sticking ones head in the sand....what we see now is simply a prelude of what’s to come...
As it’s been written....mark this:
.in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves,... lovers of money,... boastful,... proud, ...abusive,... disobedient to their parents,... ungrateful,.. unholy,... without love,... unforgiving, ...slanderous,.... without self-control,... brutal,.. not lovers of the good.... treacherous.... rash.... conceited... lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God..... having a form of godliness but denying its power...... Have nothing to do with such people. 2 Ti. 3
