The theater’s landlord, the archdiocese of NY, in recent weeks has begun heavily scrutinizing scripts of potential renters of the theater, leading to several productions having to relocate and the theater’s current GM and director to resign. The Connelly as a result has ceased operations.
Here is a gift link from The NY Times with the full details.

I'm surprised this hasn't happened earlier. Landlords 100% have the right to dictate what happens in the buildings they own and ensure it reflects their values.

The archdiocese needs to get back to denying exorcisms and stay out of show business.

This is a good thing.
The school is (partly) funded by the theater. Who wants to contribute to the dangerous and misogynistic inculcation of impressionable young minds? Not me.

One of the problems with the normalisation of so called 'cancel culture' is that you can't always pick and choose what is cancelled vs not.....

Just double checked my calendar, it is indeed the year of 2024 not 1024. Phew

Feel bad for the staff, particularly the GM who stepped away, that got held up in the crossfire. What an embarrassment of a decision on the Church’s part. Reckless.

I fully agree with those who say it's the church's right to make this decision, and with those who recognize how ridiculous and irrelevant a church would have to be to make this decision. (As someone who survived two decades of Catholic education, I'm in an unassailable position to judge how stupid all of it is.)

This is unfortunate and I feel bad for the GM and staff. I had no idea the landlord had that power.
Is there a theater in Manhattan/NYC that caters to conservative religious folks? There's probably a market for it.
