Have a "Realization" Experience- Go see the Blackfriars Theater Production

Cool story here in the New York Times about the Firas and their play coming to the New York Area. See Out of orders via Get Religion

Get Religion of course as place where the religious journalism is looked at points out something humorous in the article

Like all shows produced by this long-running Catholic theater group, “Fire” was more about realizations than religion — something that surprised Nancy Goldstein of Branford, who attended a performance.

What’s a “realization?” And is having one of them (are you guaranteed two with your ticket?) better than having, God forbid, a “religious” experience at a play? Consider how many plays have addressed religious themes (Godspell, Agnes of God, Les Miserables to name but a few) in ways that are aesthetic, experiential and theologically provocative. Unless, of course the writer means: propagandistic, evangelical, or preachy.

Good read.
