And, of course, it opens in May. Satan knows exactly what he's doing.

I think prayer about this is appropriate. I think a protest in front of the theater just advertises for these slime balls.

Actually, theater owners hate protests. Many people hate controversy, and if they see the protest, they're often inclined to turn away.

If it is a big enough protest to garner news coverage, then people will come to see what the fuss is about.

I doubt that many theater goers are going to "turn away" from a show that they came to see.

This is good to know. I too had some concern about giving this more publicity. Does anyone know if The Catholic League has said anything about this?

Imagine what would happen if these same folks tried to do a disparaging play about Mohamed.

Maybe we could get the Muslims stirred up about this because Mary has an important place in Islam too. They can do what we can't because we're nice Catholics.

On a more serious note, the Orthodox should be equally offended, considering the importance of Mary to Eastern Christianity.

I am willing to BET that this disgusting piece of trash is the product of some depraved mind who is in the grips of that sin the cries out to heaven for vengeance.

It has all the earmarks of an unrepentant sodomite.

That seems about right, from the review:

This is the Virgin Mary - brought to you by drag artist "Mimi Imfurst" Braden Chapman for a lounge act "confession."

Look at the New York Times bestseller list for last Sunday. Attacking what people believe about Christ is the latest flavor.

It was a success. The show did not go on. Someone has already put pictures up:

SLIDE SHOW HERE

Here are some:

What do you mean by that? Was the play postponed? Were the protesters mainly people from area SSPX chapels, or were there others?

The place is a dinner/theater nightclub. There was no show, the place emptied out because we were there. Fr. Zendejas said the owners were going to blast their sound system in retaliation, but the police would not let them.

There were many more people than the pictures show. Most of them were from SSPX chapels in PA, NJ, NY, and CT, but there had to be others not from SSPX chapels, I just don't know how to tell how many were from SSPX chapels and how many were other Catholics.

Were there any news media? I did a quick news search, and nothing turned up. If there was no show, you'd think the owners would notify the media.
