The new oxymoron

The new oxymoron for 2025 is “Trump Library,” which will be an edifice for a person who does not read, cannot speak two successive words that make sense, cannot track thoughts or logic to a conclusion — and is culturally, historically and ethically illiterate.

The only purpose of a Donald Trump Library would be to store stolen White House documents.

The play is really good. I was amazed at what all was created: scenery, lights, sound, hair, makeup, costumes, choreography and magics. All of which created a deep ambience surrounding the acting.

There are pleasant surprises. Let’s go.

It would be good to read a plot summary beforehand, because the high school version is fast-paced: only two hours, instead of the normal four hours. Have your grandkids search that for you.

The final productions are today at 1 and 7 p.m., and Sunday at 1 p.m.

It’s well worth the $10 admission and the road trip. Clarkston pulled out all the stops when they built this auditorium. It’s beautiful and the actors are well-microphoned.
