play involving one of the performers standing on an American flag and
saying the pledge of allegiance
- Description of incident
- Censored by the hosting theater because they were afraid that the
theater would be shut down or a protest would occur.

- The specific piece was pulled from performance only due to the fact
that the performer was tired of doing it and not due to the theater's
insistence. The end result of this conflict was that the production
