MISSIONARY POSITIONS to Play Hollywood Fringe Festival in June

What the f*ck is up with Evangelicals? Good Question! Dan can help. Born to devout Christians who had committed their lives to the service of the Lord, Daniel was raised in Thailand, Cambodia, and Romania, with a few years in the United States thrown in to stay relatable. Growing up a member of a Pentecostal Church, he always believed his mission was clear - bring salvation to the lost. However, cracks start to form when a good, Christian boy starts feeling a little lost himself. "Missionary Positions" includes adult language and discussion of adult themes, and is therefore not recommended for the little ones. Missionary Positions is written and performed by Dan Prevette, directed by and developed with Jessica Lynn Johnson, and presented in association with the Zephyr Theatre.

Using a multi-media blend of true stories, characters, and cultural commentary, this auto-biographical solo show about faith, doubt, and trauma finds Dan asking the question no one around him seemed interested in asking; "what's so wrong with being lost?"

Dan made his solo performance debut as a part of Solofest 2020, the largest solo theatre festival on the West Coast, where 'Missionary Positions' was selected for Best of Fest. Now, following unforeseen global events, Dan is resurrecting his show live at the Zephyr Theatre for his Hollywood Fringe Festival Debut!

Missionary Positions opens June 4th at The Zephyr Theatre (7456 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90046, 323.469.9988). Three performances: Sunday June 4 2023, 6:45 PM, Friday June 16 2023, 7:15 PM and Saturday June 24 2023, 3:45 PM. Tickets are: Regular $20, Fringe Participant: $10, Backslider (Are you deconstructing, Ex-vangelical, or otherwise recovering from Christianity, and you aren't sure you want to hear another man talk about God? Dan gets it, and he promises, there won't be an alter call. Price is recommended, but pay what you can): $15 Purchase Tickets at: https://www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/9837?embed=false&performance_id=21951&tab=performance
