Join us this December as we kick off 7 Deadly Sins: Church, our new joint venture with Portland Art Museum’s Center For An Untold Tomorrow (PAM-CUT)..
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 we might choose to think of them in these turbulent times. In this first show, Part One, the stories will focus on the Sin Of Wrath, a sin which — let’s be honest — feels pretty 2025.
Wrath is the most frightening of all the sins; the one most of us associate with violence, fury, or revenge. But wrath can also be a call for justice. Wrath is John Brown. Wrath is Stonewall, and the Selma To Montgomery March, 438 coordinated women’s “p**sy-hat” marches in 2017, and seven million people flocking to No Kings rallies this fall. Wrath, in other words, is like all of the other deadly sins: for better and worse, it is part of what makes us human. And like all things human, it has stories to tell.
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 during the show it will surprise us way more than you.)
Plus there will be laughs! And music! And poetry! And more laughs! And readings! And singalongs! And still more laughs! Because more than anything, 7 Deadly Sins: CHURCH is going to be a kick-ass, howl-at-the-moon evening of fun as we all celebrate what it means to be human, and look to keep the darkness at bay just one night longer.
7 Deadly Sins Church Part One: Wrath takes place Thursday, December 11th at PAM-CUT’s Tomorrow Theater.
