Latest LAT block: Theatricum Botanicum

Staffers in the Los Angeles Times newsroom have discovered they cannot fully connect with the Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum in Topanga. You know, the renowned repertory group that is putting on "A Midsummer Night's Dream" under the auspices of the National Endowment for the Arts and that carries a big ad for the Los Angeles County Arts Commission on its (apparently banned) website. I'm sure it has less to do with Geer having been an early gay lefty Angeleno decades ago—or with the upcoming production of socialist George Bernard Shaw's "You Can Never Tell"—than with the quirky excesses of Websense, the commercial filter the Times uses to defend the purity of its computer screens.
