Join the Protest

Posted by Anonymous On 10:34 PM

I have been passed the following release from wholesome Christian blogger Dan Buck:

Dear Friend,

It saddens me to report that a fine Christian institution of higher learning as succumbed to the perils of smut.

Baylor University's Theatre (suspiciously abbreviated BUT) is mounting a production of a play that explores so-called "mature themes" with so-called "adult language". These are of course, merely euphemistic justifications for the arts further embracing of the world's fascination with potty talk and otherwise questionable material. The play is called Tape and it's about two young men who are clearly NOT Christians talking about things that would never be mentioned in a song by MercyMe!

Please join me in protesting this play! I am encouraging us to be well informed in our protests which means I recommend seeing the production multiple times.

The play runs June 26, 27, 28 at 7:30 PM in Theatre 11 of Baylor's Hooper-Schaeffer Fine Arts Center. Tickets are $10.

You may call and order tickets over the phone or stop by the box office during their business hours. (254) 710-1865

For further information about this theatrical abomination go to http://www.baylor.edu/theatre/index.php?id=54859.

Spread the word!

Remember, if God intended the arts to be interesting, he wouldn't have created Thomas Kincaid.

I fully plan to participate in the protest. I urge you to join me.

Art. In Waco. It's a beautiful thing.

    Oh please. This is SO a joke. If Wacoans really had a problem with the smut coming out of the BUT they would have bulldozed that orange brick horror the day S.D. was made department head.

    I cry hoax!

  3. Papa Steve Said,

    Apropos of nothing, I know, but....

    abbreviated and euphemistic. What is the point in paying all of that money for an education, if at the end of the day you can't spell? Or as my friend Cliff would say speel?

  4. Anonymous Said,

    To protect my wholesome Christian blogging friend, I'll say that between "cut" and "paste" something must have happened in cyber-land to alter the spelling. Or speeling if you prefer...

    Now taken care of.

    I miss BUT so much! Wish I could be there to see it!

    I so wish that Stan would direct and a show featuring Baylor Alumni. I'd love to do one more show in Mabee Theatre!
