Paging all performers ... Last chance to audition for 7-Player Cymbeline is tomorrow (Saturday) morning at 10am at The Elite in Oxnard.

Seven-Player Cymbeline (aka Shakespeare’s Greatest Hits) is a 90-minute, stripped-down adaptation of one of Shakespeare’s lesser-known works; the adaptation combines the text from the Bard’s late-period romance with George Bernard Shaw’s rewrite of the ending, and tossing in a game-show for good measure, all done with seven performers and a stage manager playing twenty-nine roles. The FREE outdoor show will run four non-consecutive Saturdays at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center, June 10 and 17, and July 15 and 22, 2023. Performances are Saturday mornings at 10am.

The RED represents the actual statistic and the BLUE represents what the majority of Americans think is the statistic. This is why fear-mongering is such a successful tactic. The overestimation of minority groups by the majority has a direct correlation to negative perceptions about that group. The fact that the majority of Americans actually think 41 percent of the population is Black, that trans people account for 21 percent of Americans and 30 percent of people live in New York explains the ignorant narratives we often see. There’s 331 million people in the United States and thinking that 30 percent of that population lives in NYC is wild. 

Anyway, think about the political and media narratives in the context of what the country actually looks like and not what you think it looks like.
