Today at the Editor’s glance: The African American Cultural Society at 4422 US Highway 1 North, Palm Coast, is celebrating its 30th Anniversary at 4 p.m. with a plated dinner in the society’s recently renovated Founders Gallery. Due to the increase in the Delta variant the guest speaker, Congresswoman Barbara Lee, Shirley Chisholm’s protégé, will be joining the celebration virtually. The event will adhere to CDC guidelines and will be allowing limited seating so we can social distance. Tickets at $75 each on a first come first served basis by calling the office at 386-447-7030. City Repertory Theatre’s production of “Urinetown,” the musical, directed by John Sbordone, at 3 p.m. in CRT’s black box theater at City Marketplace, 160 Cypress Point Parkway, Suite B207, Palm Coast. Tickets are $30 adults and $15 students, available online here or by calling 386-585-9415, or at the door. As FlaglerLive’s Rick de Yampert writes, “The Tony-winning Broadway show, with music by Mark Hollmann, lyrics by Hollmann and Greg Kotis, and book by Kotis, is set in a dystopia in which a severe 20-year water shortage has forced the masses to use pay toilets controlled by a mega-corporation headed by the villainous Caldwell B. Cladwell (played by City Rep veteran Earl Levine). The draconian policies of his corporation, Urine Good Company, are enforced by the corrupt politicians and policemen he’s bribed, and urinal matrons such as Penelope Pennywise (Phillipa Rose), who makes Nurse Ratched seem like Mother Teresa.” See the full preview: “‘Urinetown,’ an Unserious Musical For Our Times, and For Our Town, at City Repertory Theatre.”

“Also, I could not stomach the idea of having an abortion just because I’m afraid of climate change. For me (and maybe only for me) it would be a sort of sick, insane thing to do, a way of mutilating my real life as a gesture of submission to in to an emergent future. I don’t want to belong to a political movement that makes me view my own body with suspicion and terror. No matter what we think or fear about the future of civilization, women all over the world will go on having babies, and I belong with them, and any child I might have belongs with their children. I know in a thin rationalist way that what I’m saying doesn’t make any sense. But I feel it, I feel it, and I know it to be true.”
–Sally Rooney, from “Richard Flanagan, from “Beautiful World, Where Are You” (2021).
