Unscripted: The Improvised Shakespeare

Hosted by Redeemer. I got myself involved in the Q&A for the first time, and first time having Dr. Keller answer to me directly.

It was a great host. Though I admit I understood only 60% of the unscripted play. "Cat food for breakfast" was the title given by the audience for them to perform on the spot.

Then they talked about how Christianity fits into their art. How they sacrifice themselves for others to look good, a kind of life after death experience.

I had to ask. How Redeemer is involved with them and if there will be future events of such. Dr. Keller was the only one answered, though I addressed my questions to all 5 (3 actors, Keller and John Lin). As some already knew, the answer was simple, that Dr. Keller's niece was married to one of the actor...the founder of the Improv. Shakespeare Company I think. And that Redeemer was supposed to have hosted quite a few of these. I am not sure about that.

From some of Keller's response, I sensed that it was as if I was questioning whether it was proper to have such theatrics associated with church events. I already agreed with Keller.

I enjoyed it. It is congruent with Redeemer's vision. Tim Keller personally address the topic. It was great.
