Lose Religion: Find God (And Give The Land Back While You're at It)

Missions Immersive Event - Main Image

A queer, mixed-indigenous teen goes on a mission trip to her family’s ancestral homelands with her suburban church youth group and realizes she’s on the wrong team. From the creator of “This Was Never Supposed To Be A One Woman Show (A One Woman Show)” (HFF 2023 Encore Producer’s Award Winner, Jaxx Cultural Envoy Nominee and Best Solo Performance Nominee) comes a funny, chaotic, irreverent coming of age story about how childhood, spirituality, nature, sexuality, colonization and intergenerational legacy intersect, and how God has quite the sense of humor. This show combines sound healing techniques, temperature/touch, smellscapes, and audience interaction to create an immersive, sensory rich experience.

About Hollywood Fringe

The Hollywood Fringe Festival is an annual, open-access, community-derived event celebrating freedom of expression and collaboration in the performing arts community. Each June during the Hollywood Fringe, the arts infiltrate the Hollywood neighborhood: fully equipped theaters, parks, clubs, churches, restaurants and other unexpected places host hundreds of productions by local, national, and international arts companies and independent performers. Participation in the Hollywood Fringe is completely open and uncensored. This free-for-all approach underlines the festival’s mission to be a platform for artists without the barrier of a curating body. By opening the gates to anyone with a vision, the festival is able to exhibit the most diverse and cutting-edge points-of-view the world has to offer. Additionally, by creating an environment where artists must self-produce their work, the Fringe motivates its participants to cultivate a spirit of entrepreneurialism in the arts.
