All women theater groups?

[convertingtocatholic]

So there is this all women theater in Japan
Takarazuka I think.
What is the Catholic Church on all same sex Theaters?

i mean, what’s the point? how many straight men are really going to see the notebook when it comes back to theaters anyway?

i think segregated beaches matter more

There’s nothing inherently wrong with a single-sex acting company. But there’s all-female troupes and then there’s Takarazuka.

And so? All Shakespeare plays were performed by men. It was considered undignified for a woman to act. They used pre-pubescent boys, too.

It’s acting. In most elementary schools it’s only girls who want to act and when you watch the nutcracker at Christmas there are a great number of girls in boy’s roles.

That’s a mild way of putting it

Actresses were assumed to be prostitutes . . . (which I understand was pretty much true on in Paris at the time)

Actors and actresses were all once assumed to be nothing but degenerates.

I think it still holds true for most lol

The Church doesn’t have a formal position on every hyper-specific thing under the sun.

What’s the Church’s position on drinking orange juice on a Tuesday morning while wearing a blue shirt? Please cite a formal Vatican pronouncement.

 

[Xanthippe_Voorhees]

Eh? What?

I think what the poster is saying is that regardless of the role the fact that two women would be playing love interests (one pretending to be a man) would be immoral as they are not a man and a woman, but two women.

In all reality they are all pretending so man/woman dosn’t matter in the slightest.

I guess it would be problematic if there was a kissing scene. I read a book that had that and I didn’t really like it that much.

I must say that this comment is typical of the weird approach Americans have toward reality: that protestations of love and passion in a play mean nothing at all, but a romantic peck on the lips would be Some Huge Thing. I’m not saying it isn’t a huge thing, but if it were a huge thing, surely the protestations of passion would be pretty significant, too.

Well I don’t really like romances in the first place. Maybe one or two were nice, but most aren’t my cup of tea. Ironically I used to like romance stories a lot but now they seem somewhat superficial.
