We can be entertained watching movies in a theater, movies at home on TV, on Wii, on our computer... we can watch TV shows - on TV, and on the computer - hundreds of channels worth. But, the play IS the thing. Live entertainment was our only option back in the 1st Century. And I'm glad you still have it today.
For my money, live performance with skill in the writing, acting and producing, is very hard to beat. Something about the interaction between actors and audience that lifts the experience. I witnessed one of the better examples of that last night at Looking Glass Theater in Chicago and their signature piece: Looking Glass Alice - a remake (I'd never heard of the first one) of Alice in Wonderland. Great for all ages. The production has traveled a bit, so you might catch it in your part of the country. Don't miss it!
Wheat Ridge ministry has supported a project about parenting. I'm sure parents appreciate something you can take the kids to and not worry about what they will see or hear. Too much of what is in the list in the first paragraph is a problem that way!
