welcome back

Good news: three months after he had major surgery, one of the pioneers of environmental theatre, Mike Lawler, is back and blogging at ecoTheater.

He takes issue with the news that a Broadway theatre is going green.

'I do not believe there can be such a thing as a 'green' theater on Broadway. Not the Broadway that exists now. No way. You can use all the recycled materials and nifty LED lobby lighting you want, but it won’t change the underlying mode of production'.

Seema at Mo`olelo Blog writes about the Wendell Berry phrase that Mike's adopted: solving for pattern. (Pdf of Berry's essay here. h-t. Free Ideas!!!)
