Four priests and sacristan are living and working in a church that is falling apart around them. Haunted by the ghosts and demons of their pasts, they fight each other and their own destructive natures as they struggle to rebuild the church. After a chalice of sanctified communion wine is poisoned by a piece of asbestos falling from the ceiling, the ensuing argument over what do with the now poisoned holy wine sets off a chain reaction of destructive events, tearing at the fragile balance holding the church together and revealing the terrible secrets holding each of the priests and the sacristan to the church.

From the acclaimed site specific company that brought Grimm Reality to Bryant Park, IN VESTMENTS is an immersive ghost story about rebuilding a crumbling church that is physically in a church currently under restoration. Live musicians Pierre Marais and Andy Evan Cohen turn Jacques Brel's music into a haunting and otherworldly score for this terrifying story of demonic possession.

The cast features Colt Keeney, Sara Fellini, Adam Belvo, Carl Danielsen (Jeff Award-winning actor), Ted Wold, Peter Oliver, Eric Soto, Pierre Marais (The Scorpion King: Rise of a Warrior), Amy Higgs, Erika Phoebus, and Cait Murphy.

The design team includes Joshua Rose (scenic and lighting design), Tricia Bastian (costume design), and Andy Evan Cohen (sound design).
