Nun Play at Stone Circle Theater

And Jesus said “Go to the church in Ridgewood. There you will find 5 women dressed in robes, awaiting your arrival. They will greet you with a song, a dance, offer dwelling for your presence — all an attempt to distract you. Now is the time to focus. To pray, to repent, to sit with yourself in silence. Listen to the voice in your head. You will confuse it as your own and that is okay. Make sure it is mine. Follow my voice. I promise it is safe. Now do as I say—”

Nun Play considers the conception of rules, the purpose of faith, and the sacrifices one makes in life to achieve any semblance of “safety."
