Tatum Langton's Solo Show REDEEMHER to Make NYC Debut at Torn Page

REDEEMher: How I Screwed Up My Perfect Mormon Life, an award winning solo show, written and performed by Tatum Langton, directed by and developed with Jessica Lynn Johnson, will be presented at Torn Page on June 29, 30, and July 1.

Tatum seeks salvation after sex and sin. Can she ultimately find redemption? See REDEEMher and find out.

REDEEMher is subtitled How I Screwed Up My Perfect Mormon Life.
Tatum is a young woman who, while a student at Utah Valley University, becomes the virgin bride of her sweetheart, entering an eternal marriage in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (the mainstream Mormon Church). Her big dream is to move to London with her husband, where she will study acting and he will study directing. But years begin to slip by, and London remains as far away from Utah as ever. With the pressures of marriage, money, and the community to which they are both a part, the couple find themselves in discord. Dejected, Tatum becomes vulnerable to the overtures of another man. Adultery, as the Mormon Church sees it, is a Sin next to murder, and after just one night of illicit sex, Tatum finds herself plunged into a deep well of guilt, sorrow and remorse.

She has sinned and, like the fictional Hester Prynne, feels a scarlet A emblazoned upon her chest. Has she ruined her life? Can she save her marriage? Through the journey of finding redemption from her church and her husband, Tatum hopefully will find something eternally more valuable.
