Stimulus Funds High Culture Theater Showing Blagojevich Farce

The Chicago Daily Observer reports:
Shakespearean Festivals ($225,000)

To be or not to be-that is the question for these stimulus projects. So it is, thanks to $225,000 is funding from the National Endowment for the Arts for the Chicago Shakespeare Theater, the Utah Shakespeare Festival, Idaho Shakespeare Festival, Inc, LA Shakespeare Festival Inc and the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington DC. In Idaho the funds will be used to guarantee an extra show for the 2010 Shakespeare season. Most recently, the Chicago Shakespeare Theater boasted of its production of Rod Blagojevich Superstar, which featured an appearance by the disgraced former governor himself for one night this past June.
Here's a video of Rod Blagojevich on stage.
