今晚在教堂看戏。圣马克教堂由侧门上二楼有间名声赫赫的小剧场。小小一个门厅,进入一个小小的黑匣子,扁长四排观众席,五十个座位,同样扁长的狭小的演区。人们告诉我,这座教堂依然是教堂,一楼大厅照样做礼拜,空闲时甚至也用来做演出。我经常引用社会学者的话说:二十一世纪,教堂与剧场是孤独的现代人聚会的场所。看来,圣马克教堂捷足先登,一堂两用,早就承担起双重聚会的义务。 Tonight in the church theater. St. Mark Church by the side door on the second floor of a small theater famous reputation. A small entrance hall, into a small black box, flat four rows of seats, 50 seats, the same long flat small play area. People tell me that the church is still a church, the lobby on the first floor still serves, and it is even used for performances at leisure. I often quote sociologists: In the 21st century, churches and theaters are places for lonely, modern people to meet. It seems that St. Mark’s Church, with its own advantage, has long assumed the obligation of a double gathering.
