[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, I thought this was going to be a thread warning us not to give money to a cult.

You're literally just offended by religious content onstage?  You need to research every event you attend much more closely!  There are many religions and they inform a huge swatch of art and culture and aren't always explicitly called out in the advertising.[/quote]

New poster. THIS, above.

Also: If OP is going to get into a twist over this show, well, where does that stop? If the Kennedy Center boots this show because of the statements OP cited as being made from the stage, that would mean the Kennedy Center would be overrun by people who object to many other shows on many other grounds. The venue would be mired in endless debate over whether to present this show or that show, to the point of institutional paralysis. Have no doubt, the Kennedy Center (and every other venue) already vet shows before giving them the green light, so within Kennedy Center artistic administration someone has long since checked Shen Yun's shows out and was perfectly aware of the entire script. Feel free to file your objection with them, as is your prerogative, but don't think they were ignorant of the content, OP.

If you don't like religious content you find offensive, you'd better steer clear of most theater, period. And yes, even many dance and music performances. I'm currently finding a lot of [i]anti-[/i]religious content in TV and films and other media objectionable to me personally, but I don't pitch a fit, or pretend I don't know it's coming, or fuss that it shouldn't be on stage or on screen just because I object to it.[/quote]
