Theatre Development Fund – TDF: Abby Rosebrock did sketch comedy and worked in academia before becoming a performer-playwright. She was most fulfilled when the two went together. "It's like being a singer-songwriter," she explains. "You've written your own material and the performance is integral to bringing that material to life."

I think the title of this article is misleading. I don't think that religion can really be called a "Conservative Value." There are many people of many religions that align themselves with any political party or belief you can imagine. Politics are not inherently religious. I will concede that most conservative politics are rooted in evangelical Christian beliefs (and for that reason I will fight every person who tries to force their backwards religious beliefs into law under the guise of fighting for a "conservative society"). But saying that because a character is religious (an evangelical Christian, at that), they are predisposed to have a more one-dimensional character (in the eyes of the modern viewer) is not true. The playwright discussed disproves that. I we do take "conservative values" to mean religion, we can answer the title of the article's question easily. Of course both religion and progressive politics can coexist.
