A controversial play with an Oscar-winning actress portraying Laura Bush reading to dead Iraqi children will go on despite a local official blasting the show as ``anti-American propaganda.'' Caryn Heilman, co-founder of the Topia Arts Center in Adams, which is putting on the show, welcomed the discourse on the ``procovative'' play. Heilman defended the play. ``This is one type of art that is an important part of the American fabric. It's very good that dialogue is beginning,'' she said.
In the play, the first lady reads to dead Iraqi children and ``goes through complex emotions,'' about the war, Heilman said.

sick !
Free Speech.
Another liberal hatchet job hiding behind "art".
These trendy leftists actually lack artistic skill, too.
Little black-and-white thing; Leftist artists. Big brown thing: The American taxpayer. Okay, that's enough Art for today. Back to the coffee.
She's reading to the dead Iraqi children that we found in mass graves right?
Briefly, the story would have the contingent of both the aforementioned human and rat population airlifted to some small, remote, irrelevant Pacific Island...to be used as a giant laboratory if you will on the efficacy of the AC-130 and survival between human and rat.
Hmmm, would this be considered "art" as well?
No one should attend this type of trash.
I've heard of this play. Why am I not surprised it's being performed in Beantown? Seriously, I don't know how you do it -- continuing to live up there amid the leftist idiots.
I mean, the weather is bad enough, and that's what really made me leave (well, that and the abysmal lack of parking). But the absolute dim-wittery (I just made a new word up, like it?) of the left was a big repellant too. I do miss Howie Carr, though. All Hail The Captain!
I was one of THREE conservatives living in Jamaica Plain and it was lonely.
Hats off to ya, you're made of tougher stuff than I -- but it's about 80 degrees down here in Florida right now. No state tax and ample parking. You guys ARE welcome.
Isn't it amazing how's its always an issue of "free speech" when its a liberal speaking?
but don't you DARE mention God, for Christ's sake! THAT would be offensive!
Sorry, I had to post again. Um... is PROCOVATIVE a... um... real word?
The show isn't going on in Beantown, it's going on in a tiny far-west town up in the northern Berkshires. Adams might as well be South Bennington. Pretty area, though.
In this case, the play is taking place in a western Mass. locale very far from Boston.
I went to college in Florida and was in Fort Lauderdale this past December. :-)
Howie Carr is fabulous. Luckily, we have other voices of reason on local talk radio, too.
You get an "A." I looked in the newspaper and it is spelled correctly but the online copy is spelled as posted. I guess an editor made a correction somewhere along the line.
I checked IMDB.com for a bio on the actress, not knowing much about her, and she was born in California, went to HS in Maryland and graduated the University of Texas.

For some stupid reason, when I read Adams -- I thought of the Adams Motor Inn on the South Shore and made the connection that it was taking place there. D'oh! I have to forfeit my proofreeding score, don't I?
What college, may I ask? I went to Eckerd in St. Pete and grad school at FIU.
yea, another "educated" fool! LMAO
you didn't happen to see any "armed combat service" in the bio now did ya?
I didn't think so
Like I said in my original post, they have a "twisted mentality."
these clowns are just products of a socialist education...
who says communism is dead? LOL
I wonder what she is doing with her salary from this play? Wouldn't she be a hypocrite if she pocketed the money and profited off the war?
In keeping with the Hollywood/American way, Laura Bush should file an expensive defamation-of-character lawsuit against the actress, the playhouse, the sponsors, whoever has the deepest pockets. A little taste of their own medicine?
Imagine the reaction to a play/movie about Saddam or Islamic terrorists killing innocent children. Oh wait, that might offend someone.
