In Conversation 
Jan 22 | 11am
Conservatory Theatre
Newman Building, 1101 13th Street, 3rd floor

Engage - Experience - Reflect 
    •     Engage in a pre-show dialogue with local and regional authorities about the themes and 
           issues of the current production 
    •     Share in the experience of watching the matinee performance 
    •     Reflect upon the performance, sharing your perspective, in a post-show setting 

Modern religious doctrines differ significantly on the issue of homosexuality. While some are accepting and inclusive of people with differing sexual orientations, many other religions take a negative, and at times perhaps a hostile view of people who are gay. This negative perception makes it difficult for homosexuals wishing to have a spiritual connection find a place of belonging in order to express their faith. Why do gay people being shunned by organized religion still struggle for religious inclusion? What role do religions that adamantly condemn homosexuality, play in the negative self-image and suicide rate of young people in the United States? Has there been a recent shift in religious attitudes towards homosexuality? If so, how has this shift towards more liberal and inclusive congregations influenced the openness of homosexuals within a denomination?
