No for an Answer

A California hardcore band active primarily between 1987 and 1989. The band has also done a couple of reunion shows, most notably the Revelation 25th anniversary shows in California.

No For An Answer is a musical play by Marc Blitzstein. It was staged by W. E. Watts at Mecca Temple, west 55th Street, New York, on Sunday, January 5, 1941. Although it was supposed to have a limited engagement, it ran for two additional Sundays. There was no scenery and Marc Blitzstein was at the piano. It was an experiment under an agreement between the Dramatists Guild and Actors Equity. The cast included Olive Deering, Lloyd Gough, Martin Pitt, Norma Green, and Curt Conway. It marked the New York debut of Broadway icon, Carol Channing. It was much discussed prior to its opening and Random House accepted it for publication just before its production.  Brooks Atkinson stated in his review of the work in The New York Times, "it is very exciting in performance, which is all that matters." Although Aaron Copland called it one of "the most original works in that form composed in this county," the play was a failure.
