Hi friends – I really hope you will tune in today to “It Takes a Parent,” AM1160/WYLL Chicago, noon central time.

I’ll have some fun items in the “Heart Beat” part of the show, then on to the “main attraction” so to speak. Today, I interview Max McLean, star of “The Screwtape Letters,” currently playing to soldout houses at the Mercury Theater in Chicago. Based on the brilliant satire by the same name by C.S. Lewis, the story follows one of Hell’s chief tormentors, Screwtape, as he helps his nephew navigate the “hoped for” snatching of a particular soul on earth. I saw the play, it’s fantastic!

Max McLean, who is based in New York, is also the President of the Fellowship for the Performing arts, a Christian performing arts company, and has starred in or been a part of many performances typically based on great Christian literature or histories.

Today on the show we’ll talk about the Screwtape Letters, Christians and the arts (I sometimes think we Christians are too “afraid” of the arts), and for those of us who have kids who want to go into the arts how can we encourage them to go about it in a way that’s redemptive? I have a son who wants to be a film director, so I’m eager for that information.

Remember, if you miss the show today at noon, you can check out out on my blog later on Monday when it will be up for “easy listening,” or on Friday you can catch it on NationalReview.com

Thanks for stopping by!
