He is probably best known for his \u003ca href=\"http://www.pulitzer.org/winners/robert-schenkkan\">Pulitzer Prize\u003c/a>-winning saga, “The Kentucky Cycle,” and for screenwriting credits that include films like “The Quiet American” and 2016’s Academy Award-nominated “Hacksaw Ridge” — projects that typically have long gestation and production periods.

But like many people, Schenkkan didn’t really think Trump would win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike previous works like “The Kentucky Cycle” that require large ensemble casts, “Building the Wall” is the epitome of theater minimalism: one room, two characters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It only needed these two people,” says Schenkkan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11363979\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11363979\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Bo Foxworth and Judith Moreland star in the L.A. staging of Building the Wall.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bo Foxworth and Judith Moreland star in the L.A. staging of ‘Building the Wall.’ \u003ccite>(Ed Krieger / Fountain Theatre)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Out of that we feel an entire world of individuals caught up by events.

I will not follow orders.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make room for the play’s three-month run, the Fountain Theatre preempted another previously scheduled performance. The cast and staging, like the script, were assembled fast — in a matter of weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh, it’s extraordinary,” says Sachs. “This does not happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the afternoon I visit the Fountain, the set is still being painted, actors deep in rehearsal. Schenkkan says it typically takes months, if not years, to take a work from the page to the stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It will be too late by then! American theater today has to decide: Are we curating history or we going to make history? Are we going to be involved in what is happening right now?” asks Schenkkan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This play has been designed to be the first of what I hope will be many such new paradigms for the production and creation of responsive American theater.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Building the Wall” premieres this weekend at the Fountain Theatre in Hollywood.

The cast and staging, like the script, were assembled fast — in a matter of weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh, it’s extraordinary,” says Sachs. “This does not happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the afternoon I visit the Fountain, the set is still being painted, actors deep in rehearsal. Schenkkan says it typically takes months, if not years, to take a work from the page to the stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It will be too late by then! American theater today has to decide: Are we curating history or we going to make history? Are we going to be involved in what is happening right now?” asks Schenkkan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This play has been designed to be the first of what I hope will be many such new paradigms for the production and creation of responsive American theater.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Building the Wall” premieres this weekend at the Fountain Theatre in Hollywood.

That decision was to commit a crime.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown said the investigation ultimately changed the department, leading to a monitor for the jails and a fundamental change in the culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A popular and progressive lawman, Baca had been elected as sheriff four times and served in the department for nearly 50 years before stepping down in 2014 as prosecutions against his deputies mounted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I appreciate the jury system, however I disagree with this particular verdict,\" Baca said in a short statement to reporters Wednesday afternoon in which he thanked his wife and friends for supporting him through the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You’ve known me for a long time,\" he added wistfully. \"I am a faith-based person. My mentality is always optimistic and I look forward to winning on appeal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baca's defense attorneys argued that subordinates kept the sheriff out of the loop and that any action he took was intended to safeguard his jails from a shoddy FBI probe. They were not allowed to bring up a defense they had sought: that Baca is suffering from early Alzheimer's and that rather than lying to investigators, he simply didn't remember.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The jury is only as good as the evidence it gets to consider,\" said Baca defense attorney Nathan Hochman. \"Here, the jury did not get to consider all the evidence, but the appellate court will.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/tcr/2017/03/2017-03-16c-tcr.mp3\" Image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/LeeBaca-800x551.jpg\" Title=\"Ex-L.A. County Sheriff Lee Baca Found Guilty in Federal Corruption Scheme\" program=\"The California Report\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baca had agreed to a plea deal with prosecutors last year where he would admit to lying to federal investigators in exchange for a maximum of six months of incarceration, but U.S. District Court Judge Percy Anderson refused to go along with the deal, which he said trivialized the former sheriff's actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The failed agreement came after nine other sheriff's officials had been convicted in connection with the scandal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In December, a different jury deadlocked 11-1 in favor of Baca's acquittal. Federal prosecutors decided to pursue another trial, hoping a second shot would bring a conviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time, jurors heard testimony over the course of nine days in a downtown federal courtroom with Baca appearing in court each day, but not taking the stand in his own defense. Baca's former assistant sheriff, Cecil Rhambo, testified he warned Baca not to mess with the FBI's investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I thought it was getting a little bit outrageous, quite frankly,\" Rhambo said. \"I couldn't physically grab him by his jacket\" to shake sense into him, he told the jury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the trial Wednesday, the jury foreman spoke to reporters but would not give his name. He said he found Rhambo's testimony particularly important. The foreman said he voted for Baca when he ran for sheriff, but was convinced Baca committed a crime to “protect his empire.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We were following the directions of the sheriff. He was the engine of the train... It's like he cut us loose.'\u003ccite>Tom Carey, former sheriff's captain\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Baca's charges stem from a corruption scandal that emerged as the FBI was quietly investigating deputy brutality against inmates at Men’s Central Jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deputies in the jail discovered the federal investigation in the summer of 2011 when they found an inmate's cellphone and learned he was working as an FBI informant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Department employees then hid the informant from federal investigators and failed to deliver him to a grand jury investigating claims of brutality. Two sheriff’s sergeants later approached an FBI agent at her house and threatened to arrest her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, federal prosecutors have filed a slew of indictments, working their way up to the top of the department. Among those convicted is Baca’s former number two, Undersheriff Paul Tanaka.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s undisputed that Baca had contact with people involved in the scheme at various points.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the central questions throughout his trials were how much Baca knew of plans to keep the informant from the FBI and to threaten the FBI agent, whether those acts impeded the grand jury investigation, and whether Baca intended them as such.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors called several of Baca’s former employees, including those who have already been implicated in the scheme.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were following the directions of the sheriff,” former sheriff’s captain Tom Carey said during sworn testimony. “He was the engine of the train … it’s like he cut us loose.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In retrospect, Carey told the jury “our moves, our tactics” were “obstruction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During closing arguments, defense attorney Hochman said Carey, who’d already pleaded guilty to perjury, had a “believability problem.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government has a “basket of goodies” to offer witnesses such as Carey, Hochman said, including reduced charges, lowered fines and lighter sentences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hochman said, from Baca’s eyes, obstruction “was not one of the goals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inmate’s cellphone, Hochman said, raised safety issues in the jail to which Baca “had to act immediately.” Hochman said Baca’s goal was to “get to the bottom of the investigation” and keep the inmate safe from possible retaliation from others for being a \"snitch\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors said Baca’s investigation into the cellphone was a “sham” used to cloak the conspirators’ goal of obstruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the FBI's investigation turned to Baca himself, federal prosecutor Elizabeth Rhodes said the former sheriff lied during a 2013 interview with federal investigators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baca told them he had \"no clue this was a civil rights investigation\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors said Baca knowingly made false statements \"to divert the government's attention.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baca was 71 years old at the time, Hochman said, and asked jurors how they would do if asked to review a conversation, a week ago, a month ago or a year ago.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Federal prosecutors decided to pursue another trial, hoping a second shot would bring a conviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time, jurors heard testimony over the course of nine days in a downtown federal courtroom with Baca appearing in court each day, but not taking the stand in his own defense. Baca's former assistant sheriff, Cecil Rhambo, testified he warned Baca not to mess with the FBI's investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I thought it was getting a little bit outrageous, quite frankly,\" Rhambo said. \"I couldn't physically grab him by his jacket\" to shake sense into him, he told the jury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the trial Wednesday, the jury foreman spoke to reporters but would not give his name. He said he found Rhambo's testimony particularly important. The foreman said he voted for Baca when he ran for sheriff, but was convinced Baca committed a crime to “protect his empire.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We were following the directions of the sheriff.

It's like he cut us loose.'\u003ccite>Tom Carey, former sheriff's captain\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Baca's charges stem from a corruption scandal that emerged as the FBI was quietly investigating deputy brutality against inmates at Men’s Central Jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deputies in the jail discovered the federal investigation in the summer of 2011 when they found an inmate's cellphone and learned he was working as an FBI informant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Department employees then hid the informant from federal investigators and failed to deliver him to a grand jury investigating claims of brutality. Two sheriff’s sergeants later approached an FBI agent at her house and threatened to arrest her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, federal prosecutors have filed a slew of indictments, working their way up to the top of the department. Among those convicted is Baca’s former number two, Undersheriff Paul Tanaka.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s undisputed that Baca had contact with people involved in the scheme at various points.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the central questions throughout his trials were how much Baca knew of plans to keep the informant from the FBI and to threaten the FBI agent, whether those acts impeded the grand jury investigation, and whether Baca intended them as such.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors called several of Baca’s former employees, including those who have already been implicated in the scheme.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were following the directions of the sheriff,” former sheriff’s captain Tom Carey said during sworn testimony. “He was the engine of the train … it’s like he cut us loose.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In retrospect, Carey told the jury “our moves, our tactics” were “obstruction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During closing arguments, defense attorney Hochman said Carey, who’d already pleaded guilty to perjury, had a “believability problem.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government has a “basket of goodies” to offer witnesses such as Carey, Hochman said, including reduced charges, lowered fines and lighter sentences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hochman said, from Baca’s eyes, obstruction “was not one of the goals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inmate’s cellphone, Hochman said, raised safety issues in the jail to which Baca “had to act immediately.” Hochman said Baca’s goal was to “get to the bottom of the investigation” and keep the inmate safe from possible retaliation from others for being a \"snitch\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors said Baca’s investigation into the cellphone was a “sham” used to cloak the conspirators’ goal of obstruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the FBI's investigation turned to Baca himself, federal prosecutor Elizabeth Rhodes said the former sheriff lied during a 2013 interview with federal investigators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baca told them he had \"no clue this was a civil rights investigation\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors said Baca knowingly made false statements \"to divert the government's attention.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The city spent months on a pitch that officials say limits taxpayer liability and takes advantage of sports venues across the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My message to the international community is that the person occupying the White House sometimes is not representative of who we are,” says O’Farrell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And remember, \u003ca href=\"https://la24.org/media/23-not-in-the-bid-book\">our bid is for 2024\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But International Olympic Committee members will decide this September if the 2024 Summer Games will be in L.A. or Paris. One IOC member from the Caribbean island of St. Lucia called Trump’s travel ban “totally contrary to Olympic ideals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well, typically I don’t think these sorts of internal politics would affect the voting procedure over at the International Olympic Committee, but these are just not normal times,” says Pacific University professor Jules Boykoff, author of “\u003ca href=\"https://www.versobooks.com/books/2105-power-games\">Power Games: A Political History of the Olympics.”\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is also an alternative theory,” says Boykoff. “And that is that the IOC has no problem with authoritarian governments. After all, they just gave the 2022 Winter Olympics to Beijing. And so one could argue that Trump and his sort of authoritarian way of going about politics could be appealing to some members of the International Olympic Committee.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many Los Angeles leaders hope International Olympic Committee members will heed the words of IOC President Thomas Bach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In this Olympic world,” said Bach, at the start of the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, “we see that the values of our shared humanity are stronger than the forces which want to divide us.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Street vending is not yet legalized in LA; it will take months to finalize a legal permit system for sidewalk vendors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the council fast-tracked one part of its proposal so that vendors with unpaid fines won't be charged with misdemeanor penalties. Mayor Garcetti is expected to sign it into law by the end of the week. Now, vendors who haven't paid their tickets won't face criminal charges, arrests or risk deportation for selling tacos, \u003cem>paletas\u003c/em> and bacon-wrapped hotdogs on the streets of Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The council's plan to overhaul the city's street-vending law is heartening to Mario, an ice cream vendor from Puebla, Mexico, who has been making and selling 32 different flavors in the piñata district for almost a decade. \"This will help us to pay rent, all the bills, to buy clothes and shoes for our children,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Street vendors occasionally receive tickets for doing business on the sidewalk. Last year, across Los Angeles, the city collected $9,880 in fines. Individual citations range from $50 to over $1,000, according to Leadership for Urban Renewal Network, a community group that has been working for years to create a legal permit system for sidewalk vendors. This can be steep for vendors like Mario, who make about $75 a day selling food. Vendors can also get their equipment confiscated by police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have three children. I need to take care of them. Our rent is $1,300. All this costs money,\" says Mario.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the devil is in the details. The city council's proposed street vending overhaul includes controversial changes. In commercial and industrial districts, for example, the new law would allow just two stationary vendors per block. In the piñata district, there are easily 100 vendors lining East Olympic Boulevard on the long block between Kohler and Merchant streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_115420\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1952px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/merced1-f830e9705a466019c5ea1d5a0006d27478b9ed96.jpg\" alt=\"Merced is a vendor in the piñata district.

The city council says the permit fees will cover it. No, they won't. There are health department issues. There's no visible sign of sanitation.

Mayor Garcetti is expected to sign it into law by the end of the week. Now, vendors who haven't paid their tickets won't face criminal charges, arrests or risk deportation for selling tacos, \u003cem>paletas\u003c/em> and bacon-wrapped hotdogs on the streets of Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The council's plan to overhaul the city's street-vending law is heartening to Mario, an ice cream vendor from Puebla, Mexico, who has been making and selling 32 different flavors in the piñata district for almost a decade. \"This will help us to pay rent, all the bills, to buy clothes and shoes for our children,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Street vendors occasionally receive tickets for doing business on the sidewalk. Last year, across Los Angeles, the city collected $9,880 in fines. Individual citations range from $50 to over $1,000, according to Leadership for Urban Renewal Network, a community group that has been working for years to create a legal permit system for sidewalk vendors. This can be steep for vendors like Mario, who make about $75 a day selling food. Vendors can also get their equipment confiscated by police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have three children. I need to take care of them. Our rent is $1,300. All this costs money,\" says Mario.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the devil is in the details. The city council's proposed street vending overhaul includes controversial changes. In commercial and industrial districts, for example, the new law would allow just two stationary vendors per block. In the piñata district, there are easily 100 vendors lining East Olympic Boulevard on the long block between Kohler and Merchant streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_115420\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1952px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/merced1-f830e9705a466019c5ea1d5a0006d27478b9ed96.jpg\" alt=\"Merced is a vendor in the piñata district.
