Here's an interesting tidbit: Carra is a high school English teacher. She accompanied the geeks among her students to an academic decathelon last week. It was held at a public San Antonio high school. Once everyone was gathered, a student got up and prayed for the gathering "in the name of Jesus". Now, Carra works at a school with conservative base. She had conservative students with her. And even they looked up at her, while their heads were bowed, and said "This is illegal, isn't it?"
What happened next? The prayer ended and they started the live multiple choice quiz in.... wait for it... evolutionary biology. The kids did great. Most were very knowledgeable. Ah... Texas oxymorons. (And no, I'm not name-calling.)
As for our own oxymoron - after all this great thinking about
how to entertain the audience, at the end of the evening, we were all really just interested in Sarah's cool purse. You can't take the girl out of the theatre artist... or scientist.
