Just What is Conservative Theatre Anyway?
By Robert Cooperman
I’m delighted to share my thoughts about conservative theatre with Liberty Island.
As the founder and president of Stage Right Theatrics—the country’s only conservative theatre company—you’d think I’d have a pretty firm grip on just what “conservative theatre” means. Well, I’ve got a grip on it, but I often feel as though I’m holding onto something that’s been thoroughly greased. That’s because the concept of a “conservative theatre” is, in my mind, still evolving. Its definition has expanded over time as I have given it more thought and read/produced more plays, but it is still very much a work in progress. Here’s where I’m at with it now.
