This theatrical production aimed at addressing the stigma and discrimination faced by persons living with HIV/AIDS will be making it's appearance at the Cultural Center. The issue of stigma and discrimination are very important issues facing the social fabric of our society.
However, the promo's that have been airing on television are so ridiculously horrid that it's beyond any criticisms I can conjure up, especially directed towards the performers.
The 'show' costs as much as $1000, with tickets for the matinee performance being $200. I can either get into Coney island and ride free with the thousand or buy the movie 'Philadelphia' (which is a great movie to see and even somewhat similar to the 'show' being held) with the 200 and watch it. Either way my money would be better spent than going to the NCC to see this load of crap.
Perfect example of good conception, horrendous execution. The intention of the producers are welcomed and warranted. We really should not stigmatise or discriminate against HIV infected persons as it just makes it harder to fight this pandemic. BUT...come on guys, if you're going to do something, do it fricking properly for Christ-sakes, and imagine they're actually charging people to see it, gosh, the movie 'Jackass' had better acting talent I'm sure.
Sorry "We'll meet again" but we shall NEVER meet.
