COLUMBUS, Ga. — In a patently-insane lack of discretion, the executive staff of the Springer Opera House are currently planning to permit minor children to attend a production that explicitly features sexual profanity, simulated sexual acts, and real-world nudity.

A recent interview  of the performance’s director published by The Columbusite confirmed that Paul Pierce hand-picked the obscene performance to be produced by the Springer. The interview selectively made no mention whatsoever of the performance’s extreme sexual content nor its nudity.

As of the date of this article’s drafting, there is still no disclaimer or prominently-displayed warning of the performance’s content on the Springer’s website; it remains unmentioned in all communications.

Despite the many “mission statements” of the local organizations who have chosen to sponsor the Springer’s current season, none have yet publicly spoken out condemning the abhorrently-grotesque and willfully-unethical conduct of the Springer, its staff, nor its board of directors.

In the interest of informing the public of this already-public information, we at the Muckraker have compiled the following complete list of the Springer Opera House’s season sponsors.

NOTE: The public should understand that many of these sponsors likely have no idea that the Springer’s production includes such sexual content and real-world nudity, let alone that the Springer’s staff are planning to allow children to attend. Since the Springer’s own website makes no mention of the performance’s nudity and sexual content, we highly doubt the Springer has been forthright with their sponsors about the show’s nudity and sexual content either. 

If the reader does so choose to contact the sponsors listed below, the reader should take polite and tactful care in their communications by opting to inform them of the situation as opposed to ridiculing; they genuinely may not even know it is occurring, let alone on their dime.

2. J.W. & Ethel I. Woodruff Foundation CEO: Chris Woodruff
3. Beloco Foundation (a subsidiary of the Bradley-Turner Foundation)
4. W.C. Bradley Company

Facts are stubborn things — and we’ll keep publishing them, whether Paul Pierce & Co. like them or not.
