Anyone here religious?

So spring boarding from another discussion, I'm interested, now, in the Hellinger Theater.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Hellinger_Theatre

Problem is, I'm not religious, so I don't think I would be up for attending "church," even if it meant a free ticket into a Broadway house.

Has anyone been to the “services” in this theater?

If so, it is worth checking out?

And how the hell are we going to reclaim this space for legitimate -- and hopefully sinful and scandalous -- performing art?

Looking forward to your answers.

Peace.

The theater is georgeous. Go see it for that alone

If you want to see another theater/church go to 175 th & Broadway Rev Ike . It is now much more than a church but it is middle eastern in design. It is flat out eye popping. i have seen it many times & least time got a personalized tour of it.

For more info on the Hellinger search. I know that I have answered these questions several times before, and I cant imagine how many times Smaxie has answered them.

wow, MyMancape, that link led to one of my pithy comments, followed directly by another swipe atLegally Blonde from 2006.

Lucee, I'm home!

Jesus actually was in talks with Jeff and Hunter, but they ended up thinking it was to big of a house.

I think the Trinity is now looking into it as a space that would be nice for Brigadoon. Seeing as how both the church and the show have people that live in the past and only come alive at inopportune times.

(JK, no disrespect to Jesus or his followers, I saw him at a performance of Cry-Baby, and he seemed like a really nice guy.)

Ha, I chuckle when I pass the Rev. Ike sign every time I walk to No Parking. I've always thought the building looked cool, but it's never crossed my mind to go inside. Perhaps I should!
