What will this show be like? Will being a part of it be scary or embarrassing?

As I developed Liturgy for Longing, it became clear that the audience needed to be a key part of the experience. Everyone is different, and so I cannot answer this question for you personally. However, it was very important to me that audience members are always in charge of their own bodies, minds, emotions, and souls. Interactive elements are group based or individual explorations together in a group. At no point will the audience be forced to share embarrassing stories, stand in the spotlight, or do things that make them uncomfortable. No lines will be fed to you, no one will be pulled up without consent. There will be opportunities for audience members to change the course of the show, or to speak out, but these moments will be self-selected.

As a neurodivergent person, I know that some of you might want more details as to how the show will work, while others might want to embrace the mystery. If you would like specific details, or a very clear outline of the performance, please email me at LiturgyforLonging@gmail.com and I will happily share with you any details you need.

This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by Arts Mid-Hudson.
