Robert Cooperman from Stage Right Theatrics
The episode also offers a refreshing approach to discussing conservative representation in the arts.
Rather than advocating for a particular message or agenda, Robert Cooperman, our guest, and owner of Stage Right Theatrics, promotes the Natural Theater. This presents the founding philosophy of the country through art.
“We have protagonists on stage who are not defined by their victim status...there is going to be hope and redemption, which I think is very important and meaning."— Robert Cooperman
This philosophy encompasses human nature, natural rights, and God, and the protagonists on stage are not defined by their victim status. By creating plays that focus on human nature rather than oppression, the Natural Theater provides a unique perspective that sets it apart from other conservative representations in the arts.
The podcast's emphasis on hope and redemption also offers a refreshing take on the genre, rejecting the idea that we are adrift in a meaningless universe.
"Let's have the civil conversation. I'm not budging from my point of view, but I'm going to unlike the left, I'm going to allow another point of view and let the marketplace of ideas decide which is the one that's going to win out."— Robert Cooperman
We also talk about the challenges and opportunities of promoting conservative voices in an industry that is often dominated by liberal viewpoints.
"Our goal is to produce theater from a conservative, traditional point of view because I think we are bombarded every day with messages through the arts as well as other avenues of this woke, left wing ideology." - Robert Koopman.
A big shout out to Andrew Klavan, who was instrumental in the early stages of Stage Right Theatrics with his play, The Uncanny.
