For the Rest of Us
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!

Robert looks at a couple of issues of relevance as we celebrate America's 250th birthday. First he looks at the Reflecting Pool controversy where some fringe lunatics are celebrating the destruction of beauty, as is typical in the arts. Second, he discusses an article by an LGBTQ+ activist who talks about how the AIDS crisis led to the development of art as a "lifesaving" endeavor. Robert equates that technique to the need for...
It's a show about not the good, not the bad, but definitely the ugly!
Robert starts by discussing the unattractiveness of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, comparing it to the general distaste for beauty in contemporary architecture and art, but then segways to a Facebook posting that ignorantly and incorrectly characterizes Stage Right Theatrics and its purpose.

Robert discusses a fascinating article that poses the question, "Does engagement with the arts slow aging?" While a stimulating discussion, for Robert, it's the wrong question. Instead we should be looking at how art enriches the soul.

Robert reviews the characteristics of contemporary leftwing art such as the dehumanizing of an individual into a group identity, the marginalization of anyone who does not adhere to the set of characteristics associated with that identity, and a rejection of the good, the beautiful, and the true.

Robert, himself in a production of the classic musical "1776," looks back a couple of years to a strange Broadway revival of the musical featuring an all female cast. Why would anyone do this? Because a statement had to be made that disavowed the wonder and grandeur of the Declaration of Independence in favor of the misery of contemporary malcontents!

Robert explores the recent rejection by the Columbus Downtown Commission of the Center for Christian Virtue's plan to erect three crosses on its rooftop. Can a symbol of faith be merely a graphic to be regulated by a government entity? Is this a free speech issue?

Robert looks at the possibility of producing the classic American lay, "A Raisin in the Sun," with a non-traditional, interracial cast. Would that be welcome in an artistic world where colorblind casting is embraced wholeheartedly, mostly?
