| I’d go further and ask why care about anything the Bible says? | |

| I certainly understand what you are saying and there are many who feel that way, I am sure. But--in a situation where a group of people are attempting to make a point using a document they believe in, would you not agree that using that same document to show them a second point or, in this case, a potentially bigger point is a stronger "make friends and influence people" tactic than suggesting they throw out the entire document in the first place? And what Mr. Sieber's song is also about is that people who have excelled in academic theater may be better suited to teach than perform--and I found this personal discovery delightful and unexpected. |

| "people who have excelled in academic theater may be better suited to teach than perform--and I found this personal discovery delightful and unexpected." I agree with finding it delightful, but I think it's a little more complicated than that. His character was, after all, on a TV series that is still in syndication, so he did have success as a performer. It's just that, for whatever reason, that didn't turn into a career, and so he is finding another outlet for his skills and passion. This job also gives him a space to exercise his activism and build a community, which are important to him, as they are a large part of what drove this whole troupe to go down there in the first place. |

| Certainly agree. And you are correct about his previous success, but that very success is a source of embarrassment and consternation for him in that, partially, it doesn't truly represent his abilities and also wasn't the gateway he hoped it would be. I greatly enjoyed his passion for teaching theater as a means of teaching empathy and found his character's discovery of a fulfilling life path--one in which "I went to Julliard" will be met with far fewer eye rolls--really quite sweet. He needs Indiana as much as it needs him. |
