Seven American Nights procession

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Ah, closed EARLY for Easter. Of course. 

I was going to check the text before I said anything, but James is right--- everything depends on how Catholic are the customs of the city. In Philadelphia, for example, everything shuts down on Easter weekend, starting Friday afternoon if not morning.

This custom may seem strange to those who did not grow up with it.

        N = Thursday, N+1 = FridaySymbolically this is great. Nadan gets arrested on Thursday night, like Jesus. The story has parallel to a passion play, with Ardis as Judas. I like this a lot, except for the theater being closed on Friday for Easter.
      
    

    Thematically, this also makes sense because after the procession,
    the text says: "It is very late-three, my watch says." Three o'clock
    is the hour of Christ's death.? 

    

    Additionally, the procession with the priest carrying the cross
    "like a crutch" is surely Good Friday.

    

    When Ardis said "Tomorrow night the theater will be closed early for
    Easter." It is not unreasonable that she meant Easter weekend. And
    if the city has a large enough Catholic population to allow for
    public Good Friday processions, then it is not unreasonable that the
    theater to be closed IN THE EVENING on that day.
