7 Deadly Sins Church Part One: Wrath
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.

The Absolute Worst Holiday Show
The Absolute Worst is an interactive, open-mic comedy/storytelling show where audience members face off against three curated comedians and storytellers to find out who can lay claim to having had the worst holiday ever, with both absolutely fabulous and absolutely terrible prizes at stake.
And if you have a great story about an absolutely terrible holiday you had to endure, you might walk away with the evening’s grand prize!
Maybe your worst-holiday story is about that one year you had too much to drink at your company Christmas Party and tried to make out with the copy machine. Or maybe it’s about that New Years Eve you agreed to get fixed up on a blind date with your roommate’s cousin’s neighbor’s just-paroled old college frat buddy because, really, how bad could the guy be? Or maybe it’s about that time you got dumped on Valentines Day, or that Birthday Party your mom threw where no one showed up, or that Fourth Of July you accidentally set off what everyone in your family now just refers to as “the toilet fire.”
Don’t want to tell a story? No problem! You can still win a prize by winning our Absolute Worst Pictionary Cage Match, or giving the best answer to our Absolute Worst Question Of The Night, or being crowned the Absolute Best Audience Member, or some other prize that we’ll probably just make up as we go.
Also, we may ask everyone to howl at the moon. Or we may not. (We’ll see.)
