Re: “Steeplechase: Come for the Hat Contest, Stay for the Fistfight”
Unfortunately, not everyone knows how to enjoy a day at the races in an appropriate manner. Fortunately, thanks to a strong, coordinated effort between Iroquois Steeplechase management and Metro Police, incidents like this are far from the norm and are continuing to decline. As you can see at the end of this video, Police arrived and put a halt to this incident. Because of a stepped up partnership between the Steeplechase and Nashville's public safety officers, very few incidents like this occurred. Of course, we will not be satisfied until they never occur, and Steeplechase management will continue to devote the resources necessary to move us toward this goal. - Iroquois Steeplechase

Re: “A musical about budding sexual curiosity makes for darkly compelling entertainment at Street Theatre”
just a quick word about the R rating: the rating is more to let people know that there is some serious adult content in the show, but it isn't as strictly enforced as it would be in a movie theatre. like martin mentioned, the show is about kids after all...and my 17 year old loved it. if you have a 16 year old or even a mature 15 year old who is familiar with some of the conventions of theater, then i'd say bring them. the nudity is brief, tasteful, and can be easily ignored.

Who in their right mind would try to please everyone. It is accomplished in all of the arts by gently massaging the Emotions, the emotions of the performers touching the viewer, or reader and turning them into participants. Apathy is failure. Emotional response is success!

Re: “Local Filmmakers' A Measure of the Sin Tonight at Belcourt”
It is especially important in this discussion to recognize the unity of the total process from that first unimaginable moment of cosmic emergence through all its subsequent forms of expression until the present. This unbreakable bond of relatedness that makes of the whole a universe becomes increasingly apparent to scientific observation, although this bond ultimately escapes scientific formulation or understanding. In virtue of this relatedness, everything is intimately present to everything else in the universe.
Nothing is completely itself without everything else. This relatedness is both spatial and temporal. However distant in space or time, the bond of unity is functionally there. The universe is a communion and a community.
We ourselves are that communion become conscious of itself.

Re: “Local Filmmakers' A Measure of the Sin Tonight at Belcourt”
What is divinity if it can come
Only in silent shadows and in dreams?
Shall she not find in comforts of the sun,
In pungent fruit and bright, green wings, or else
In any balm or beauty of the earth,
Things to be cherished like the thought of heaven?
Divinity must live within herself:
Passions of rain, or moods in falling snow;
Grievings in loneliness, or unsubdued
Elations when the forest blooms; gusty
Emotions on wet roads on autumn nights;
All pleasures and pains, remembering
The boughs of summer and the winter branch,
These are the measures destined for her soul.
-Wallace Stevens, Sunday Morning, 1915

Re: “Local Filmmakers' A Measure of the Sin Tonight at Belcourt”
"My heart was heavy, for its trust had been abused,
its kindness answered by foul wrong;
So turning gloomily, from my fellow men,
One summer Sabbath day I strolled among
The green mounds of the village burial-place;
Where, pondering how all human love and hate
Find one sad level;and how, soon or late,
Wronged and wrongdoer, each with meekened face,
And cold hands folded over a still heart,
Pass the green threshold of our common grave,
Whither all footsteps tend, whence none depart,
Awed for myself and pitying my race,
Our common sorrow, like a mighty wave,
Swept all my pride away, and trembling I forgave!"
- John Greenleaf Whittier
