drwexI'm apparently really out of it, as I have just learned from an ART email that on the 21st of this month a group of "Christianists" (I like that word) decided to stage a protest of Invincible Summer, a monologue currently running at the theater.
As part of this protest, one of the people involved dumped water over performer Mike Daisey's original show outline - apparently he improvs each night from a set of hand-written pages.
Video of the vandalism:

Mike Daisey's blog response:

I'm trying to wrap my brain around this. If the blog comments are true, a group of High Schoolers and teachers/advisers traveled from California and paid money to stage this protest. BUH?

Sorry if that's not a great answer.
