Question: Found Theater Space
1. Instead of posing a generic question and then preparing answers, this journal is an online "debate" about that pagan and sinful ritual called theater (as many people called it throughout history). Here is the scenario.
A parish chapel is closed for economic reasons, but, technically, is still owned by the local church. To raise funds, the church has decided to "rent" out the former chapel to local organizations for meetings, events or activities, since it is no longer used by the church for religious activities (masses, weddings, prayers, etc.). A request is made by a local theater company to rent the chapel, in order to put on the theater production Hair. After some research, it is discovered the musical they have chosen does contain some minor language and adult situations, which could be deemed inappropriate by some members of the congregation and/or community.
Your journal assignment should answer the following:
o do you rent the space to the theater company?
o why or why not?
o Create your response, in the Assignment submission box below (not in the Comments field), as a journal or diary entry. This response will not be read by your fellow classmates. The journal should be 1-2 pages long, approximately 400-500 words minimum. Researching the musical Hair most likely will be needed. Be careful of spelling, grammar, capitalization, and punctuation...proofread and edit your work as necessary. Please cite your sources if any are used, including any videos or links used.
