For most of my childhood, I went to a Roman Catholic church and attended a Christian school. My church had a Saturday morning youth program called Religious Instructions, where we learned about the Seven Sacraments and the importance of Mary. The remainder of my week took place at school where we had to memorize and recite Bible verses and constantly demonstrate our faith in Christ.

While my classmates in my theatre MA program were already deeply knowledgeable about theatrical canon and history from their undergrad classes, I was comparing Medea to Karen Walker and using Seinfeld and Green Acres to talk about Ionesco’s absurdist classic The Bald Soprano.
