Yet Another Pagan Drama Production

[Mike Schutz]

Last night, as I was thoroughly entertained at a drama production at one of our Nazarene institutions of higher education, I wondered where our lifestyle police were. You remember them - the ones who were so offended at pagan displays and dancing and sexual innuendo at a dramatic production last fall. Where are they?

This dramatic production had pagan rituals.
It had dancing.
It had blatant discussion of sexual behavior.
It had fairies and magic.

It had everything that the previous production had - the one that our lifestyle police found so offensive. The only difference was that this one referenced the culture of ancient Greece, rather than that of the Caribbean.

What was the play? A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare.

Where were the lifestyle police to protect us, and protect our impressionable young people, from such filth?;)

(Congratulations to the cast and crew at ENC for an excellent production!)

Always knew that Shakespeare guy couldn't be trusted :)

Maybe they're busy writing their scathing review right now...

Technical question: To whom do I send my complaint? College President, Drama Department Head, Board of Trustees, Every pastor on the region, or someone else?

Oh no Wilson, don't send it TO anyone. Post your complaint all over the internet.

DANCING??? It had dancing? That's result of talking about sex, isn't it? DANCING. such an Outrage. The most vile of pagan practices! Never mind what David says in Psalm 150.

[Bob Evans]

Paul careful with that dancing referance. cha cha cha

There are already organizations with the names, MADD and SADD. I could launch NADD - Nazarenes Against Devilish Drama!

Drat! A quick check revealed that www.nadd.com and www.nadd.org are already taken. Oh well, another unfulfilled dream...

www.nadd.ch is still available. OK, "ch" stands for Switzerland, but why should we care? We can use it as short for "church". :(
