Quoting a few examples would have helped your argument. I shouldn't have to visit a "social media outlet" to follow your thesis. Define "social media outlet." Give me a few examples. I read news on the Web and I didn't read anything worse written about Madonna than was written about the other Super Bowl Half-time shows of the last few years.

This lame article is what I would expect from the Huffington Post.

I'm pretty sure the military would have been segregated no matter what party was in charge.

I cannot speak to their current productions, as I haven't seen a show there in many years, but The Shakespeare Theater used the casting of black actors to underscore martyrdom. In "As You Like It," Rosalind is victimized and thrown from the court. How much stronger her suffering, when you use a black actress. Ditto when they used a black actress as Saint Joan.
Sometimes the stunt casting worked, such as when they cast Andre Braugher as Iago opposite Avery Brooks Othello. Sometimes it was a disaster, such as Patrick Stewart as Othello against an all black cast.
I also felt that Francelle Dorn was a weak actress who they kept in the company simply for diversity. Perhaps she has gotten better.

As I wrote, I really need an article to build my arguments. But some examples:
GA Shakespeare Festival in the 90's did "The Merchant of Venice" set before World War II. They added a scene where Shylock's home is vandalized ala Kristallnacht. The lovers were all Nazis. I am not making this up. Portia wore a Nazi armband.
I recently saw "Julius Caesar" with Caesar played by the actor they could find who looked most like Obama, Portia by an actress who looked like Michele and Cassius by an actress who looked like Hilary Clinton.
The post-colonial "The Tempest" with a black Caliban has become a Regional Theater cliche.
Honorable Mention goes to a director I interviewed for "The Taming of the Shrew." His concept was that it had to be done by an all male cast, with burly hairy men playing the female roles because "Audiences just won't accept the sexism in the play any more." My company staged it as a period romantic comedy and audiences loved it.
I could go on.

A large amount of theater is liberal propaganda. I love Shakespeare, but can no longer bring myself to attend productions. To me, Shakespeare represents ideals and philospophies to live by. His writings show a keen understanding of the human mind and feelings, wrapped in a traditional morality. In many ways, Shakespeare is the ultimate conservative playwright.
Watching contemporary directors reshape the works into liberal dogma is beyond disheartening. I could write my own article about numberous productions I have seen, along with quoting absurd statements by directors.

In the third paragraph the writer calls the principle characters "urban yuppies." Yuppie stands for Young Urban Professional. Department of Redundancy Department.

Susan George played the wife, not Susanna York.

I think "Reds" is a brilliant movie. I saw it when it opened Christmas of 1981 and several times since. It never fails to impress me and gets better each time. Setting aside its politics, its dramatic two act structure is extremely well done.

If you never see the second part after intermission, it ends happily and the Russian Revolution looks like a triumph. Act two shows the disappointment and disillusion when the Revolution fails.

I disagree with the author about Louise Bryant's feminist views being anachronistic. Within Reed and Bryant's circle these views were much in vogue. Contemporary writings show this.

And I think Nicholson's performance as O'Neill is one of his best.

1920's Victorian Home?

Victoria died in 1901. In Architecture, Victorian refers to buildings circa 1840 to circa 1900.

There are no photographs. Bin Laden has been dead for years. Bin Laden stockpiled several videos leading up to the "08 election. Once Obama won, all we got were audio tapes. Why? Because Bin Laden was dead before the election. The audio tapes are not his voice. All the Obama Administration did was confirm his death. The entire raid never happened.
