Ep 32-What Now in the Arts

Robert considers the play "August; Osage County," arguably one of the most important American plays of the 21st century. But will it stand the test of time? Is it just too reflective of our culture's tendency to dramatize misery with little hope for redemption or meaning?

Ep 31 The Great American Tragedy?

Robert laments the rioting and unrest in France, but particularly the destruction of the Limoges Town Hall, which represents  cultural heritage that the Left and its minions look to emulate elsewhere. When will cities in the US look like Limoge?

Ep 30 "When's It Our Turn?"

Robert looks at a performing art he has little familiarity with, yet one that conservatives embrace: the ballet. The question is, has the Left gotten hold of ballet or is there any hope to salvage it?

Ep 29 See You at the Ballet!

Robert compares the play "The Velocity of Autumn" with the powerhouse drama "August: Osage County." Can they even be compared as works of art? One has a great deal to recommend it to critics and theatre scholars. The other has much to recommend it to Mr. And Mrs. Front Porch. Which one should we rally behind?

Ep 28 A Tale of Two Plays

Robert looks at the diminishment of literature as a useful study in high schools by comparing the literature curriculum of 1926 to that of today. We've lost so much in 100 years and we need to get it back!

Ep 27 What are They Teaching in Schools Today?

Ep 26 The Great American Tragedy?

Robert looks at two issues: 1) the new film, "Buddy," which attempts to show the dark side of childhood and the antithesis to shows like "Barney & Friends," and 2) an article from "National Review' discussing how important it is for young conservatives to make their voices heard, even in the arts!

Ep 25 "Buddy" and the Perils of Being a Young Conservative.

Robert takes a look at the world of classical music and how the forces of intolerance have made it a battleground for poor decisions and social experimentation.

Ep 24 What Has Happened to Classical Music?

Robert talks about the way the late Dolly Parton remained on the surface apolitical yet managed to offer compelling subjects and themes in her songwriting In fact, she may not have been so apolitical afterall! Also, people are reading "The Odyssey" again!

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!
