To the Editor:
I was very disappointed to read the Surflight Theater review (“Surflight Theatre’s‘Hairspray’ Arrives with a Timely Theme” 8/23). To interject a subjective political opinion in the article is in very bad taste and a very bad decision from the writer.
His comment regarding President Trump and pouring gasoline onto the racial issues present today was extremely offensive and nothing more than his opinion. If I want political commentary I will not search for it in his articles.
