7 Deadly Sins: CHURCH is a seven-part interactive live storytelling series that explores each of the Seven Deadly Sins, what they mean in this particular moment in history, and how one might choose to think of them in these turbulent times. Despite being an entirely secular show created by a group of outlandishly sinful heathens, 7 Deadly Sins: CHURCH will have all the trappings and spirit of an old-school gospel tent revival—albeit with less religion and more access to cocktails. (Also, if anyone is somehow miraculously healed of anything, it will surprise us way more than you.)
In the second CHURCH show, Part Two, the stories will focus on the Sin of Lust. And because of the particular things to say about the topic, the entire lineup of the guest artists commissioned for this chapter of CHURCH will be female/femme.
Lust is the most desired and sought-after of all the sins, but it can also be the most complicated. Sometimes Lust can drive you all the way to True Love—but it can just as quickly inspire you to hurt the people you love most. At its best, Lust delivers unto you your most intense moments of euphoria, about half of all popular music, and each succeeding generation. At its worst, it also drags along betrayals, body shaming, the Manosphere, and the entire # MeToo movement in its wake. Lust, in other words, is like all the other deadly sins: for better or worse, it’s what makes one human.
Plus, there will be laughs. And music. And poetry. And readings. And sing-alongs. And still more laughs. Because more than anything, 7 Deadly Sins: CHURCH is a fantastic, howl-at-the-moon evening of fun to celebrate what it means to be human, and keep the darkness at bay just one night longer.
