Focus, People! Focus!

It’s not at all far-fetched for a global-thinking leader of a performing-arts organization to feel compelled to speak and act on climate change — and to use all the clout at his or her disposal to do something positive.

You’ll get no argument from me about the harmful potential of climate change. But a performing-arts organization cannot suddenly become a quasi-environmental organization — unless the two causes are somehow both in the charter to begin with. (Which is a pretty cool idea, actually.)
