On March 28th, I had the pleasure of attending the Broadway show called “The Play That Goes Wrong,” located at the Lycuem Theatre on 149 West 45th Street.

When there is no tangible view of what could be lost, one can easily say that for the greater good, one could survive without the object. An additional argument against funding the NEA is that art will survive without the grants of the Endowment.
