Curios Romeo and Juliet opens on October 11th at Calvary United Methodist Church (those liberal Methodists!) in West Philadelphia. Someone is going to hell.

Ah, the lack of creativity in the artistic front is almost as frighting as the lack of intelligence is on the political one.
Oh well, we can hope that CW-II does a good cleanup.
As is usual, I volunteer to run the guillotine...but ONLY if Pelosi, Reid, and certain other high officials go first.

You could put them at the end of the line and refuse to sharpen the guillotine blade...

They felt this was appropriate in a church?! All other considerations, arguments for/against the play don’t matter. It is a church.
This wouldn’t have even been proposed in church.

I was a theater major in college and acted in or directed some Shakespeare productions in community theater. These kinds of productions used to drive me up the wall, much like today’s “Eurotrash” opera productions. Sadly, bastardized Shakespeare like this is becoming the norm.

It might have been better to call it a “church building.”

Antagonist character Tybalt, traditionally a man, is also being portrayed as and being played by a woman. And theres no Lord Capulet, explains director Krista Apple. Lady Capulet runs the house"So.....other than the characters' names, what does this have to do with the Bard's original play?

Of course, anyone who objects is homophobic. We have to be liberal, and open minded and all that.
Shakespeare with a Brokeback flair????

The Episcopal and ELCA bishops were likely disappointed one of their “churches” was not selected.

That building ceased to be a church when they chose to spit in God’s face and told Him to leave them alone to create their own brand of faux Christianity..

OK,which one is "Juliet"?
To: Gamecock
Bi-curio theater presents Romeo and Juliet.
A sneak peek at the dialogue:
Juliet: The Montagues and Capulets are mortal enemies.
Romeo: No reason that should affect our feelings for each other. Lesbie friends.
Juliet: Homo you don't!

If they’re going to go that far, might as well go all the way. Have Romeo and Juliet be from the same family and do away with the Capulets altogether.

Yawn. Church, female star-crossed lovers, snooze... Schedule the performance in a mosque and you’ve got something interesting.
