(AP) — The superintendent of a Christian school in Lincoln says he lost his job because he performed in a community production of “The Producers.”

The Broadway musical by Mel Brooks has gay characters, Nazi jokes, some coarse dialogue and racy lyrics.

Harold Scott has been superintendent for two years at Parkview Christian School, which has ties to Calvary Community Church. Scott said on Wednesday that he was told that Calvary’s pastor, the Rev. Carl Godwin, thought Scott’s participation in the show at The Lofte Theatre would reflect poorly on the school and church.

Scott says he did nothing wrong and that his involvement in theater “should in no way interfere with the career I love.”

Godwin didn’t immediately return a call Thursday from The Associated Press.
