GLOSSOLALIA is an American Gothic pas de deux about faith, consent, and how we justify right from wrong, written and directed by Christina Tinde Jesenski. A preacher's daughter and her father's protege succumb to lust during a secret meeting outside an abandoned church, and what begins as tender intimacy spirals into conflict when guilt takes hold of one but not the other. The production is presented with two alternating casts: the Cicada Cast featuring Aibhlinn Rose as Evangeline and Michael Cañas as Isaac, and the Church Cast featuring Lily Wadsworth as Evangeline and Colin Rinard as Isaac. The world premiere is part of Hollywood Fringe Festival 2026.
