Was I the only audience member who felt that John Waters standing on the Civic Theater stage with a
large orange stool by his side reeked with symbolic irony? I know I wasn’t the only one who laughed out
loud for the next hour and a half.
Waters, the first speaker in the Grand Rapids Artprize Speaker Series unloaded a frenetic, acidic and
thoroughly comedic onslaught of the bizarre by anyone’s standards during his 90 minute creative schtick
before a capacity crowd of West Michiganders.
