about the O

Vera wants to be a nun, but can’t let go of her past, or her vibrators. When Vera's prayers become a little too… rapturous, her world is flipped upside down. Vera turns to her audience of “saints,” who help her make the biggest decisions of her life. As Vera’s story unfolds, it is intertwined with other women’s experiences, exploring the connection between body, spirit, and sexuality. This solo immersive drama-comedy blends fiction with dozens of real women’s stories - and asks, “What happens when faith, doubt, and pleasure collide?” 

 

Holy O is a deeply moving experience without an ounce of pretense. The piece masterfully explores sexuality without shame, taboo, or crudeness, beautifully blending moments of humor and solemnity. It is rare that such a piece makes the audience feel so nurtured; while heavy at times, we’re left basking in the glow of what we’ve experienced, and wishing the run time was longer.” (Ari Rogers, DC Theater Arts)

HOLY O borders between interactive and immersive theatre.

 

HOLY O would not be possible without the women who bravely shared their stories during its creation.

TRT 60 minutes.

This play is not suitable for children—mature themes and language. Partial nudity, all areas traditionally covered by undergarments remain covered.
