 Karen Ishizuka / Santa Anita Assembly Center, CA - In Plain Sight Captured via artist Nancy Baker Cahill's 4th Wall appIf the sky is the limit, as the saying goes, a striking performance this weekend will harness those lofty ambitions quite literally.

"We spent an awful lot of time this spring talking about viruses and how they spread," he proclaimed. "One person infects another person who infects a third who then has contact with a larger group of people and infects 20 more, each of whom, and you know how it works. It's exponential. Pretty soon, individuals thousands of miles from the source of the outbreaks start getting sick."
