Running February 7 - 9 at 7:00 PM at The Tank in midtown Manhattan.
This February, Sarah Alice Shull stars in her debut self-written, one-woman show, Something to Believe In. Tickets are available for performances on February 7 - 9 at 7:00 PM at The Tank in Midtown Manhattan.
Something to Believe In follows a high school senior at an all-girls Catholic school in Kentucky hurtling towards graduation in the year 2012.
Forced to confront the religion that raised her while simultaneously discovering the undeniable, blossoming queerness inside her soul, she asks her congregation (we mean audience) can these two pieces of a person grow alongside each other? Should they? Something to Believe In explores what it means to actually believe in something (who'd-a thunk), who "deserves"' a place in heaven, and how to build a water powered car.
Tickets are $15 and can be found here. Livestream tickets are also available.
