‘Sarah Ruhl’s Passion Play’ at a Brooklyn Church
NYTimes.com TWO years ago, at the urging of its pastor, David Dyson, Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church welcomed a resident theater company into the largely unused interior of what was once its Sunday school. Named the Irondale Center after its new tenant, the Irondale Ensemble Project, the soaring space now serves as a home to a wide array of performances and community events in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.

Finally an article about a company and a space that accept some outlandish cobncept of a play instead of getting argumentative about it! All I feel I've been reading recently have been these conservative production managers being wary of allowing "crude" or "non-PC" plays into their space out of fear of uproar from its patrons. Good for the Irondale for allowing such an importantly controversial work take place such a fitting setting as a converted catachism school.
I would absolutely love to see this play, as Sarah Ruhl's pieces are generalluy brilliant and pignant, and how the space really enhances the work.
