Plays about forced community is my bag and even better when it’s about one I’m not super familiar with. Safe havens for the queer community have always been a part of society but they seem to be more and more endangered due to capitalism and the rise of Christian nationalism. We needs plays like this to sound the alarm and mobilize the resistance. The play is also super horny and quite funny. Berry’s boldness when it comes to the sexuality is so refreshing and I hope it blows the wigs off the average theatre going crowd.

Once I started, I could not stop reading CHRCH. This is a play that captures what it feels like to be a gay man during an era of rising conservatism and economic instability. Ambitious in terms of both structure and thematic content, CHRCH is sharp, funny and provocative. Berry writes characters that are layered and rooted in the real world. CHRCH is a play for the moment; I cannot recommend it enough.
