A man of acting... Kevin Spacey performed some impromptu "street theater" on Tuesday to ask Congress for continued funding of the National Endowment for the Arts amid calls for deep budget cuts.
Prospects for more live music in Portland grew brighter Wednesday, when two of the leading independent music promoters in the Northeast announced plans to reopen the State Theatre on Congress Street this fall. The theater, at 609 Congress St., has been closed since 2006. When it reopens, it will seat about 1,450 people on the main floor and in the balcony.
Our national government has been operating without a budget for more than five months, and nothing in the two-week temporary budget extension suggests that Congress is any nearer to enacting one. The reprieve was all theater and no substance. Republicans set $4 billion as the price for their cooperation in avoiding a disastrous shutdown, and they accepted 30 percent of it in the form of funding cutbacks suggested by President Barack Obama's budget proposal. The balance will come from eliminating several dozen special projects branded as earmarks.
Some day soon -- and fans of political theater won't want to miss it -- Congress will have to vote on increasing the national "debt ceiling," which currently stands oh-so-restrictively at $14.294 trillion. They shouldn't do it. Just say no, the recommended kids' response to another habit-forming peril.
I am sending this Congress a plan that you should pass right away. It's called the American Jobs Act. There should be nothing controversial about this piece of legislation. Everything in here is the kind of proposal that's been supported by both Democrats and Republicans - including many who sit here tonight. And everything in this bill will be paid for. Everything. (Applause.) That's what President Obama told lawmakers Sept. 8 in a hastily called joint session of Congress. But it was - and is - a flat-out lie, and Mr. Obama knows it.
It's not Ronald Reagan transitioning from movie star to governor of California, but Dan Stockton wants to go from community theater to Congress. A local newspaper called me a Cary Grant-ish character once because I was playing a charismatic role," said Stockton, who estimates he has acted, sung and danced in about 20 productions in Greencastle, Ind.
WASHINGTON - Kevin Spacey is offering some impromptu "street theater" to call on Congress for continued funding of the National Endowment for the Arts. Spacey had been scheduled to testify Tuesday during a hearing that was canceled at the last minute. Instead, he performed a version of his testimony for arts advocates. Spacey says an NEA grant is a stamp of approval for small theaters and arts groups nationwide to seek funding from other donors.
