Archdiocese steps in
to halt revue at former church
"The St. Louis Archdiocese on Thursday blocked the first public performance of 'Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll' at the Ivory Theatre, saying the edgy musical revue doesn't belong in the former church. St. Louis Circuit Judge Philip D. Heagney issued a temporary restraining order Thursday and scheduled a hearing today to consider making the order permanent. The Carondelet theater was previously the St. Boniface Catholic Church before the church was closed in 2005 and sold to developers. One of the conditions of that sale prohibits shows aimed at 'an adult audience rather than the general public.' The archdiocese took action, in part, after seeing advertisements for the show."
