Notes: Some terms listed with a plus sign represent combinations of words that, when used together, acknowledge transgender people, which is not in keeping with the current federal government’s position that there are only two, immutable sexes. Any term collected above was included on at least one agency’s list, which does not necessarily imply that other agencies are also discouraged from using it.

Primary Stages reports that new NEA requirements may delay or restrict federal funding for its productions. https://www.primarystages.org/we-will-not-comply

NEA funding is prohibited from “operating any programs which promote diversity, equity, and inclusion” and cannot use federal funds to “promote gender ideology.”

Here we go, this is just the beginning!

We have friends and when they come to see shows always stay at the Civilian and some stay at the InterContinental which is a lot more $$$. Never heard of Romer's but I would think it's noisier being on 8th Avenue.
