A bold musical odyssey about exploring what we do when our faith no longer offers the solace it once did.
Set against the surreal spectacle of a miracle-on-demand theme park, Lourdes! satirises faith while holding space for its comfort, exploring chronic illness, queer identity, and the lies we tell to survive.
With dancing altar boys, showbiz nuns, and a Virgin Mary who may or may not be automated, this is a camp coming-of-age odyssey where the biggest miracle of all might just be learning to tell the truth.
