March 22, 2000 Letters to the Editor AIN'T MARCUS I was so saddened to hear about the St. Marcus Church closing what has been one of the most important venues for diverse voices in America, the St. Marcus Theatre.
I travel and perform all over the country. I have often spoken in public about how it is places like the St. Marcus Theatre and the companies that work there like Joan Lipkin's That Uppity Theatre Company and Scott Miller's New Line Theatre that are really keeping American culture humming with risk-taking and truth-speaking. Our nation is much lessened by the unfortunate decision of the St. Marcus congregation. Tim Miller Artistic Director Highways Performance Space Santa Monica, Calif.
