The story has been told that George Bernard Shaw sent Winston Churchill tickets to the opening of his play Pygmalion:
"I have included two tickets so that you may bring a friend, if you have any."
To which Churchill replied:
"I regret to say that I am unable to attend that night; I would like tickets to the second performance, if there is one."

I'm hoping to crank up the ol' Gulfstream and take in a bit of quality fundamentalist theater this season. I mentioned my plans to the head stewardess of DissidensAir and she said—and rather sharply, I thought—"Huper ptoma mou". I'm not sure what she meant by that; I suppose it is just some aviation lingo.
But I list below some of the thespian delights insofar as I could determine them and the states I shall be flying to:
[Spring Drama] Apr. 25, 26; Faith Baptist Bible College, IA
A Murder Is Announced, Apr. 3-5; Northland Baptist Bible College, WI
Cheaper By the Dozen, Apr. 17-19; Pillsbury Baptist Bible College, MN
Henry V, Shakespeare, Apr. 30-May 2; Bob Jones University, SC
Love's Labours Lost, Shakespeare, Apr. 16-19; Clearwater Christian College, FL
Pygmalion, G.B. Shaw, Apr. 10-12; Maranatha Baptist Bible College, WIShe Loves Me - Feb. 22; International Baptist College, AZ

These considerations put me in mind of old Cafe Perplexa, and I see the figure of Nat recumbent in a metal chair, and I wonder when the muse will come his way again.

Really, you could almost visit these campuses anytime of the school year and take in drama. Chapel is theatrical.

The best is the first chapel service of the fall, when everyone shares their testimonies from summer camp!

And that THLIPP you just heard was the sound of an arrow hitting a bull's eye.

I love the way William Shakespeare pulls back the curtain on dissidens.
Behold the crypto-Mennonite.

Or what about the chapel services when the kids want to thank God publically that someone else is paying every dime of their tuition so they can keep participating in sports?

I never heard that one. But I'm sure if the donor and student had met at camp, it would have come up.

I have seldom seen anything closer to an After School Special than a young, spiritually oblivious jock tearfully rhapsodizing about how his dad, Pastor X of Fetid Mound Baptist Church, found a wealty businessman to subsidize his education so he could play soccer again. A show-stopping kickline number would have been appropriate to finish it off.
