Oh hi, Stratford Festival. I have recently discovered that you have concluded you are "complicit" in "upholding white supremacy in the past". While I wish you the very best in your important efforts to "dismantle" it, I have a small question.
During which part of your history did this happen? I really would like to know, because over the decades, my family has enjoyed numerous shows at Stratford. If now I find out that you've been sneaking around, upholding white supremacy and such, well gosh darnit I feel terrible. I certainly didn't travel to your fine town to do that. I did not spend a great deal of money on your art with that in mind, nor did the rest of your audience. That sounds like a bit of bait & switch, to tell you the truth, you pretending to do world-class theatre and music, while running around secretly white supremacizing the whole time.
You're surely not expecting me to accept a moral stain for having financially supporting all that. So ... when are we getting our money back?
Oh what the heck, the boys did another one, Saturday July 31, 3PM. The weather gods smiled at us, and a bunch of friendly people arrived at the last minute to enjoy. One of the visitors enjoyed the show just enough to drop by a cantaloupe as payment later on, which means that the boys are officially Professionals. Watch on youtube!
