Didn't Expect to See Biblical Characters in Drag
Ohio Star Theater at Dutch Valley的点评
点评：Our family saw the "Road to Damascus" production.
If not for one scene, I would have rated it 4 out of 5.
The questionable scene was of one of King Herod and his court attendants. There were 5 dancing women and 1 bearded man. All were wearing IDENTICAL bright pink and purple silk type dresses. It was not a brief number, either.
I'm very glad I did not take my grandchildren, but I did take my adult children, who were likewise very surprised.
I wrote to the management, who said, "We understand how those styles can look different from what we’re used to today, and how they might come across as more feminine by modern standards."
I don't buy that for a minute!, and find the reply not a little condescending. There was NO difference between the dresses of all 6 dancers. These did not appear to be period costumes either - they were simply bright silk dresses.
The management also said, "I want to assure you that there are no intentional efforts being made to inject 21st century cultural topics into our shows."
And yet it appears that this was the case, whether it came from a renegade actor or producer, or if planned/accidentally by the company.
I'm not assured. If I wanted to see something "edgy", I wouldn't expect to see it in a theater in the heart of Ohio's Amish country, especially without warning to a captive audience. It doesn't seem too much to expect to see family oriented material in a theater that advertises as producing "family-friendly shows".

翻译：我们全家看了《大马士革之路》的演出。
如果不是因为一个场景，我会给它打4分（满分5分）。
那个有争议的场景是希律王和他的侍从。有5位舞女和1位留着胡子的男士。他们都穿着一模一样的亮粉色和紫色丝绸裙。而且这段戏还不短。
我很庆幸没带孙辈们去看，但我带了我的成年子女，他们也同样感到非常惊讶。
我写信给剧院管理层，他们回复说：“我们理解这些服装风格与我们今天习惯的风格有所不同，也理解按照现代标准来看，它们可能显得更女性化。”
我完全不接受这种说法！而且我觉得他们的回复有点居高临下。所有6位舞者的服装都完全一样。这些服装看起来也不像是古装——它们只是普通的亮色丝绸裙而已。
管理层还表示：“我想向你们保证，我们并没有刻意将21世纪的文化话题融入到我们的演出中。”
然而，事实似乎并非如此，无论是某个特立独行的演员或制片人所为，还是公司有意或无意的安排。
我对此并不确定。如果我想看一些“前卫”的作品，我肯定不会想到在俄亥俄州阿米什人聚居区中心的一家剧院里看到，尤其是在没有事先告知观众的情况下。在一个标榜自己制作“合家欢演出”的剧院里，期待看到一些适合全家观看的内容，似乎也并不过分。
