Robert Cooperman hosts “For the Rest of Us,” which airs on 95.9 FM Saturdays at 11 AM in Columbus, OH. He is the founder and president of Stage Right Theatrics, the country’s only conservative theatre company. A playwright and theatre producer, Robert’s goal is to increase participation in the arts by conservative and traditionally-minded people and to educate audiences on American theatre history and its connection to promoting Western values, which he fears are eroding rapidly in all aspects of our culture. “For the Rest of Us” is, as it suggests, a show that looks at the erosion of Western (and specifically American) values in our contemporary arts scene and—more importantly—what we can do about it!
