 This Holiday Season, Let's Thank An Anonymous Spanish Graffiti Artist Who Reminded Us How The World Could Be If you've perused the theater's web site, you know that the name Alley Cat Theater comes from meshing the names of my two daughters, Allison and Kathryn. What you surely don't know unless you know us intimately is that the logo for Alley Cat Theater is a piece of graffiti that Allison found on a wall in Granada, Spain. It's also a tattoo that all three of us wear.
Two cats. One white. One black. And a shooting star. It's a piece of art that an anonymous graffiti artist spray painted on a wall that celebrates a worldview that I've always tried to support. It represents a worldview that not only embraces but celebrates diversity and encourages us to put aside our differences and focus on our similarities. Its subtle Moorish overtones symbolize the many wonderful cultures the world contains. It imagines how a world could be, which is also what the theater does. And so, in the spirit of the holiday season and an anonymous graffiti artist, I'm wishing you and your family and friends joy, peace, serenity, and the best of luck in the new year. --John Greiner-Ferris Founding Artistic Director www.alleycattheater.org

Sarcasm is a tool that I always find myself using. If you ask me, sarcasm is probably the reason why I cannot find a friend. I mean, sure, sarcasm is all about wit, but not every can find it funny. I really want to be in an environment where people can be as sarcastic as they want to, but never sound offensive to others. Sarcasm is one thing that I do not want to change about myself, that is for sure. 10/29/2022 01:11:37 am
