Improvatorium, the company that brought you Zombience and Hitchcocked, brings you Pure Improv, a hilarious short-form improv show at Theatre Asylum. With long-form improv currently in fashion, Improvatorium returns to improvised scenes, songs, extended scenes, and traditional improv games that are now almost considered retro.

For a gay Christian man like me, this play blazed no new territory, but it was a cogent, passionate and sensitive portrayal of the real issues lurking in modern-day sexual oppression based on so-called religious principles. The real tragedy here is that those who most need to see this play will not out of fear, presumed offense or both.Written on Mar 24 2008

The actor is talented. And he looks good naked. Beyond that, it is about blaming Christ for everything from the KKK to the holocaust. And it talks about want to suck Jesus's cock. Nuff said?Written on Mar 24 2008

Description
Shame
Presented by ORIGINS
Starring Brionne Davis
Produced by Christian Meoli
Created by Steve Morey and Paul Rebillot
Directed by William Stanford Davis
Shame pits sensuality and sex against religion. A kind of ultimate Gestalt therapy session between man and God, a man confesses his lust for Jesus, and then offers a response as Jesus, coming off the cross, indicting Christianity and forgiving gays and anyone else of the soul crippling shame which permeates a world revolving on guilt.
This seminal controversy (sensuality/religion) gets a frank airing in Steve Morey and Paul Ribbelot's one-man play, with basic contradictions being brought to the fore with disarming innocence. Eros and agape mix with bare Christianity into a Genet-like amalgam that will shock homophobic Christians and Christophobic homos and possibly everyone in between, and hopefully take them into a new reality.
Everyone has a relationship to the man on the cross. We all have an account to settle. This is not just another sweet Jesus thing. This is Jesus in the raw!
