"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I'm happy that Calhoun isn't taking this quitely. Although nothing is probably going to change, at least CBS will know how many people they are pissing off this year.

I believe I read on ATC, however, that Deaf West is taking it quietly. Or maybe they just don't want to raise any trouble?

I can see that Plum. I think some would rather complain quitely and try to express their dissappointment on the inside rather than making a big stink about it publically in order to avoid trouble.
I'm just glad that Calhoun has said what he said so that at least we know that there are people willing to let CBS know that people don't like the decision.

Yes, I read it too. Someone called them to find out what he/she could do to try and get CBS to change their mind. The person was told that Deaf West was appreciative of the support, but they were "ok" with the decision.

For what little difference it will make, the theatrical community should be very proud that one of its own is not afraid to voice his opinion on the matter.
