I'm appearing in a prodcution of Raisin in the Sun which is being Co-Sponsored by a local black church and a large national bank. The church is insisting that because we use their rehearsal space and performace space that all profanity (even mild things like hell and damn and GD be removed as well as the scene were Beneatha blasphemes that god doesn't exist and get's slapped by her mother and it's not the slap that bothers them. The N-word (which the actors were asked about and supported it's usage) they don't have a problem with. i'd really like to hear from Southern Baptisis and evangelicals to understand the thinking better.

The performance space is not a full time church but it is used as one one Sundays. It used to be county rec center.
