Taking the stage after the opening-night performance of a Collaboraction production, actor Eddie Torres told the audience that refunds were available for anyone who hadn’t enjoyed the play. The pledge was a condition of an “unusual new endeavor from the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation” that’s a well-intended, very bad idea, Chris Jones writes. “[A] piece of art is not a light fixture. And I think that such a speech is beneath the dignity of a fine artist like Torres.”
