Student thespians tackle climate change in Theatre for Social Justice course
Omaha World-Herald ^ | October 18, 2017

If all the world’s a stage, Creighton University students in this semester’s Theatre for Social Justice course are learning ways art can help them leave that stage a little brighter, cleaner, better.

Amy Lane, PhD, assistant professor and coordinator of Creighton’s theatre and dance programs, is teaching the Theatre for Social Justice class focused on climate change. It culminates in a performance of plays penned by internationally renowned playwrights and the students themselves.

From sustainability in agriculture to ministering to climate refugees, the planned performances aim to touch on several different aspects of the crisis.

Lane said students in the course are working on five-minute plays focused on pollution, the protection of animals and climate change denial.

“It’s a truly international event,” said Lane, who also taught the course in the spring with a focus amid ongoing debates over immigration.

No, not like Goebbels.

Goebbels was effective.

“ministering to climate refugees”

Acolytes for the church of climate change propaganda.

I'll always remember that Hillary Clinton aide who stormed tearfully out of the post-election meeting, proclaiming dramatically that they being older would live to die a natural death but he (being younger) would die too soon due to Global Warming! All because Hillary Clinton did not win!

Poor deluded fool.

Would you really want to trust something as complicated as a self-timed fryer or a cash register that hands out the change for you with someone that stupid?

They need to turn the air conditioning off in the theater. With the stage lights and a packed house, everybody will be sweating so much they will be begging for air conditioning.

[They need to turn the air conditioning off in the theater.]

Scrap the energy-guzzling COMPUTERS. They can use paper and pencils. Oh, I forgot, they are FOREST PRODUCTS. Better they use a CHISELS and STONES to write the scripts.

Forget the ELECTRIC STAGE LIGHTS too. The only way to go for the THEATRE FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE is via summertime open air productions, reminiscent of William Shakespeare. Can’t have gas, coal, and oil heating systems in this facility either - only SOLAR GENERATORS produced by SOLAR POWER.

And I’m pretty sure that evil old Commie Warren Buffett owns the Omaha newspaper. What else would one expect from such a source?
