Church of Saint Boniface, Missouri

I receive an e-mail.

One of the Saint Louis, Missouri churches that closed in 2005 was Saint Boniface. Sadly, this church is now a theater, which is featuring the play Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll, which it describes thusly:

"New Line Theatre opens its seventeenth season of daring, muscular theatre with the world premiere of the new revue, SEX, DRUGS, AND ROCK & ROLL a fearless celebration and exploration of these three ubiquitous forces on Americans and our culture, running Sept. 27-Oct. 20, 2007".

While this is problematic in itself, this most certainly violates the Archdiocese's conditions of sale of the church, which includes a prohibition on "live performances directed to an adult audience rather than the general public are operated or conducted."

New Line Theatre's productions do NOT violate the conditions of sale, since all New Line shows have always been open to the general public, as they will continue to be. Though New Line shows are not aimed at children, parents do bring children to most New Line shows.
