If your coach led you in a group prayer before a ball game, Or you were cast as a donkey in your church’s Christmas pageant. If you know who Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber are,
Then we have a show for you!
SALVAGE is a dance / theater work-in-progress deconstructing the funny, ridiculous, harmful and beautiful practices of non-denominational American Christianity. Taking place in a megachurch, the show uproots often unseen, deep-seeded religious beliefs with a smile as it strips consumerism, perfectionism, and patriarchy away from the faith itself. With direction and choreography by Alexandria Nunweiler and music by Calvin Hitchcock, the show invites all of us to gather, decipher, and sew together the salvageable pieces of ourselves. Amen!
This production is an informal showing followed by a moderated Q&A session with the choreographer and dancers.
