BOOM Performance: “Mass”

Rae Mariah MacCarthy : Performance Art/Theatre

Looking for a secular, communally-created reimagining of a Catholic church service, with queer witchy overtones? The content of this mass is up to you. Come with a reading (your favorite poem, the text you sent your Dad), or a hymn (that dance track you can’t stop listening to, the lullaby your Grandma sang to you as a kid) — or don’t, and just enjoy other people’s offerings. This is not a show. It’s an experiment, where all faiths and lacks thereof are enthusiastically welcomed.

Artists:

• Rae Mariah MacCarthy (priest, they/them) is an award-winning writer, performer and birth mother.
