A couple of weeks ago I joined scores of fellow citizens at the Arena Stage in Washington, D.C., at a public reading of the Muller report.
From noon until late into the evening, a parade of volunteers calmly managed and executed the spectacle, live streamed for all to see.
It was as Washington geeky as you could get, sitting in the Molly Smith Library, named after Arena’s venerable artistic director, listening to readers deliver three-minute excerpts, which often include lengthy legal citations and subscripts, punctuated occasionally by a loud tone while a staffer held up a large cue card emblazoned with “REDACTED”.
