You’ve seen the guy painted silver who pretends to be a statue. And the juggler with bowling pins, the guy who “swallows” flaming swords, the magicians, drummers, and tap dancers in the French Quarter. Street theater is nothing like THEATER-theater.

[This was written in August of 2020.] Not only do we have this virus and the hysteria surrounding it—and its continued impact on schools, churches, jobs, the election, and the morale of every American.
