Dear Friends in Christ,
I had the privilege Sunday night to join with others attending the grand opening of a new performance theater in Frederick New Spire Arts (just across from the Weinberg Center on West Patrick Street). A culturally diverse ensemble of actors and dancers black, white, gay, deaf, men and women delivered a compelling sampling of the kinds of stage programs that will be presented there in the coming seasons.
The closing performance was entitled “Stranger in a Strange Land.” Centered around the theme of social alienation, the set depicted a drum-like parade of human movements out of which solitary persons regularly appeared to relate circumstances in which they had felt the stranger displaced, threatened, or excluded in a world to which they themselves belonged. The point was to show how race or gender or sexual orientation each a distinct human gift, each worthy of respect can be used instead to demean and divide.
