Himself's Hate Sidebar has an irony-free theatrical piece in between all the post-DADT repeal panic:
CHICAGO, Dec. 20, 2010 /Christian Newswire/ -- THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS, the provocative and wickedly funny theatrical adaptation of the C.S. Lewis novel about spiritual warfare from a demon's point of view, has announced a multi-city tour in 2011. Starring Max McLean, THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS will run Jan. 15 at the Alex Theater in Glendale, California (Los Angeles); Jan. 29 at the Balboa Theatre in San Diego, California; Feb. 12 at the Arlene Schnitzer Hall in Portland, Oregon; Feb. 26 at the Moore Theatre in Seattle, Washington; March 19 at the Pikes Peak Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado; March 26-27 at the Knight Theater in Charlotte, North Carolina. More dates will be added for 2011. Please visit www.screwtapeonstage.com.
The funny thing is, the show's not going to any God-fearing, Bible-thumping venues. Odd, considering how the right-wing has appropriated C.S. Lewis. But then, too, SC couldn't even score a date with the NOM anti-same-sex-marriage tour, which held poorly-attended events in Atlanta and Raleigh but reduced us to flyover-land. If SC wasn't the comeback vote for reactionaries running for President who lost in New Hampshire, would anyone notice us at all?
