SINNER. A Musical Tragicomedy About Breaking Up With White Jesus is autobiographical fringe work. Marla Torgerson spoke to Paul Levy about how she created the show, the music that forms the heart of the story and the style. How do we use art to ahieve catharis and then bring this to audiences?
“If Fleabag went to Bible college in the North American Bible Belt. SINNER. is an irreverent solo musical tragicomedy about faith, shame, and being raised to shrink. Blending razor-sharp comedy, jaw-dropping vocal virtuosity and original songs, the show interrogates belief, family systems and the cost of becoming “good.” Funny, tender and unapologetically honest, audiences have called SINNER. ‘the soul healing I didn’t know I still needed.’ Come for the comedy. Stay for the catharsis.”
