Like it or not, the Superbowl , the commercials, old TV shows, all of
that, has become ingrained as popular culture. While we may or may not
choose to participate in that popular culture, we have to acknowledge
that, as theatre artists, our audiences do. If we, as artists, lose
touch with the popular vocabulary our audiences speak, we're less
relevant than any bottom-of-the-barrel TV show.

The question is, *how* should we acknowledge?  Staying connected to
that vocabulary has only limited intrinsic value.  You have to do
something with that connection.
