D.C. Theatre Cancels Performance of Strzok/Page Anti-Trump Texts Project Over Threats of Violence

Conservative Irish filmmakers Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney are known for their documentaries FrackNation, Not Evil Just Wrong, Mine Your Own Business and The Search For Tristan’s Mum.  Their New York Times and Amazon Best Seller Gosnell: The Untold Story of America’s Most Prolific Serial Killer was made into a feature film. Since the film deals with the infamous physician abortionist Kermit Gosnell who was jailed for life without the possibility of parole for the first-degree murder of three aborted babies born alive- among other horrors including performing numerous illegal late-term abortions over three decades- they had to fund the movie through crowdsourcing. The film stars conservative actors Dean Cain and Nick Searcy- who also directed. Not surprisingly they had a challenging time getting the film distributed or reviewed. Liberals don’t cotton to the anti-abortion issue, as we are witnessing today.

McAleer is again dealing with censorship of sorts. A staged reading of FBI Lovebirds: Undercovers set to be performed on June 13 has been canceled by Washington D.C. Mead Theatre because of “threats of violence”.  Apparently, threats were posted on Kristy Swanson’s Twitter page. She stars with fellow conservative Dean Cain in the project which is based on the entire anti-Trump texts between senior FBI agent Peter Strzok and FBI attorney Lisa Page.

According to Deadline:

McAleer, in a statement, condemned the cancellation at the Mead Theatre as censorship and pledged “that the show will go on despite the left’s attempts to sabotage it by forcing the venue’s withdrawal so close to the event date.”

“We will get a venue,” said McAleer. “The staged reading will go ahead. It will be filmed and released online and everyone will get to see the truth about how the upper echelons of the FBI tried to subvert democracy. This censorship will not succeed.”

Yahoo Entertainment quotes:

“We are appalled,” they said in another statement. “The Mead Theater withdrew the event, citing ‘threats of violence.’ In actuality, this is an attempt to squash the content of FBI Lovebirds: UnderCovers and what it reveals about the anti-Trump forces in the government. They knew we are filming the play and planning to release it online. That’s why they banned us. They just don’t want the truth out there.”

The statement continued: “In fact, the theatrical establishment is really afraid of the way we are using Verbatim Theater, which utilizes only the actual words and texts from Strzok and Page. … The intolerant left can’t challenge the actual, verbatim text.”

Whether the theatre legitimately canceled over security concerns or not- it’s still censorship!
