NEW YORK CITY: Have you read the Mueller report? Now you don’t have to; you can let more than than 100 theatre artists read it for you this weekend, at a live performance of the entire text of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Report on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election. The event, under the title Filibustered and Unfiltered: America Reads the Mueller Report, will begin on June 1 at 8 p.m. at the Arc, a music venue in Long Island City, Queens—and wrap 24 hours later.
