SiNNERMAN Ensemble presents their third production, the world premiere of "Bible B-Sides," an original, multi-media show including dance, puppetry, violence, and an original rock score and Pat Benatar-esque choreography, created from several lesser known Old Testament Bible stories, adapted by the ensemble and director Matt Miller. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes tragic, the company delves into the universal humanity, complex relationships and exciting discoveries of these inherently relevant and surprising stories.

The Bible stories featured will include Abraham, Sarah and Hagar; Deborah; David and Bathsheba; David and Mephibosheth; Ehud and Eglon; Hosea and Gomer; Jephthah and his daughter; Lot and his daughters; and the rape of Tamar. "Bible B-Sides" runs ninety minutes without intermission.

SiNNERMAN, formed out of a Steppenwolf Theatre summer program, is spelled with all caps except for the "i", and is named after the Nina Simone song. Sunday, April 5 (Palm Sunday) will be a benefit performance where $5 per ticket will be donated to DeborahsPlace.org, which helps women make the transition back into self-sufficiency, while providing clean, safe, all female housing.
