“This play speaks to the very reasons why I make theatre. In A Walless Church, Nox’s godlings have heard the longings of Black women who deeply want to see god and return to a knowing of the god within. Their rituals invite us into contemplation about how we navigate healing in our relationships when hurt, pain, and misunderstanding drive us apart. Part recipe making, part experimentation, part discovery – A Walless Church evokes transformation and the spirit of healing.”
