Plaza Theatre hosting Kathy Griffin in Palm Springs is unacceptable

I am withdrawing any future support from the Plaza Theatre due to management's decision to host the Kathy Griffin residency next year . This booking represents a glaring double standard. In 2017, Griffin posed with a mock, blood-soaked severed head of a sitting U.S. president , crossing the line from satire into graphic, targeted violence. She vocally wished for Donald Trump's death multiple times, including a tweet that he should be given a "syringe with nothing but air inside it." If a comedian depicted graphic violence against a prominent LGBTQ+ icon such as Lady Gaga or Elton John, or the mayor of Palm Springs, or a different political leader, would this institution give them a platform? By hosting her, management appears to signal that graphic political violence and targeted, public death wishes are acceptable if the target belongs to a specific political party. To give her a residency just adds insult to injury, rewarding behavior that would get anyone else permanently blacklisted. As a local resident, I will not subsidize this corporate hypocrisy, which is a shame coming from a musicain who truly loves to support orchestra and symphonies around the world.
