“The one thing ... that is truly ugly is the climate of hate and intimidation, created by a noisy few, which makes the decent majority reluctant to air in public their views on anything controversial. ... Where all pretend to be thinking alike, it's likely that no one is thinking at all.” ― Edward Abbey

37 POSTCARDS. A Comedy by Michael Mckeever. Directed
by Joe Sirotnak LMLB Productions. The Cinnabar Theatre.

catch a performance before they close the show.
