This one, specifically, is so broadly accepted as a bad idea, that the liberal-minded artsy types in my community appear to be prohibitively apprehensive of discussing any other ideas about Canada's involvement in Afghanistan, beyond the fact that it's a bad one. Hi :) I just stumbled on your blog entry from Theatre is Territory.
I’m an emerging Theatre maker in Montreal, and am from the maritimes, which means that I count many military types in my close circles…. I’ve an uncle who is a former Lieutenant Colonel and he’s directed me towards the avenues necessary to get funding to take a show to Kandahar.

In the same way that, as a previous comment suggested, your post cleared the room, audition notices and networking sessions attempting to get people involved in the project have made people run screaming in the opposite direction.

People, even Theatre People, don’t like war. This one, specifically, is so broadly accepted as a bad idea, that the liberal-minded artsy types in my community appear to be prohibitively apprehensive of discussing any other ideas about Canada’s involvement in Afghanistan, beyond the fact that it’s a bad one.
