Fringe Festival: Chocolate Jesus

Our friends at SpeakeasyDC are bringing back Chocolate Jesus, after last year's sold-out run. This collection of first-person narratives candidly explores faith and identity, including stories about a nice Jewish girl who goes to jail, a confused teenager who rebels against her atheist parents, and a young American in Mexico who finds her inner goddess.

Details after the jump.

"...poignant, funny stories strengthened by honesty that had the audience roaring with laughter... Each story is a gem."--DC TheatreScene

"...a piece that tackles big themes and life-shaping moments with plainspoken humor rather than showy spectacle." --DCist

One of the storytellers, Travis, also explores how his faith affected his coming-out process. His story is a show-stopper and will really appeal to queer audience members.
