The cast, director & writers of DON'T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS! have appeared in 554 @washingtonpost articles. But, as @AmericanTheatre noted in 2016, the paper bans TYA reviews. So, the @kencen's world premiere next month will not get a WaPo review. americantheatre.org/2016/03/22/d-c…@washingtonpost@AmericanTheatre@kencen Of course, Mo Willems' @kencen musical is already almost sold out, so why does getting a review matter? I think famed British theater critic Lyn Gardner explained it best in her essay for The Guardian in 2013 (see photo).
1/ One cannot understate how radical a change this provision is to our tax system. Large endowments have been a point of criticism for a while. In truth, endowments can become harmful to a rational tax system because they can continue to grow without taxation.
2/ If the endowments just grow and are not being spent for charitable purposes one wonders why they are being allowed the exemption.
