    Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike.

    I have to attend a lot of political fund raisers--they are not always my favorite thing. But, that's the business I'm in.

    Last night there was a "Heavy Hitters" event, at least that's what we call them in the business, to raise money for Republicans in the Iowa Caucuses. There was a black tie dinner and we were comped tickets to a theater in Downtown Des Moines, the Stagewest on Mulberry St.

    No sooner than the play, Vanya and Sonia... started when I heard the "F Bomb" and learned one of the characters was a homer. I had to step over people's feet in the dark to leave, but leave I did. The morals of this metro area need more Freehold and less Des Moines:

    Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike

    Michael Morain, mmorain@dmreg.com 9 p.m. CDT May 11, 2015

    Jim Benda, Ann Woldt, Arlene McAtee and Zander Morales get all gussied up for a costume party in “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike,” which StageWest opens Friday at the Des Moines Social Club.(Photo: StageWest/Special to the Register)

    In StageWest's bizarre show this week at the Des Moines Social Club, a pair of mopey, middle-aged siblings spend a lot of time watching wild turkeys from their sitting-room window. One morning their clairvoyant housekeeper shows up to shout prophecies over the roar of her vacuum and warns them about someone, or something, named Hootie Pie.
    It's hard to explain.
    Isaiah 24:1-3 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty (2)...as the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. (3) The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken his word.

    Let me guess, my tax dollars go to fund this "art," right?

    Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

      Your are so correct. I have no doubt Obama liked this anti Christian play with its profanity and homerism sent it here. The National Endowment for the Arts is his atheist playground.

          That nearly naked man, Zander Morales, is a big reason why I stopped participating in the DSM theater community. Before going downtown one night, I made the mistake of stopping by his apartment to meet up. Open entering, I saw his roommate sitting in the middle of the living room with a small mound of white powder on a table and a glass drug pipe in his hand. The roommate asked if I wanted to feel amazing and I immediately left.

          The sad part is that whenever other DSM theater people asked me the reason why I never wanted to do anything that involved being around Zander, and I responded with my story, I was met with negativity as if I was the one with the problem.

            Your story is part of the reason Freehold is and will forever remain a gated city. We do not want any part of the Des Moines art scene's sin to enter Freehold.

                Des Moines is a crime-ridden, drug-infested hellhole full of addicts, criminals, and illegal aliens. There isn't a day that goes by where the blood doesn't gush in thick rivers through the troubled streets.

                It's so terribly sad when I remember the fine, beautiful city it used to be....









                And what it has become...
