Rochester, 1996 is the story of an urban pastor, his teenage daughter, and a Sunday that shaped the rest of their lives. The show explores issues of identity, sexuality, and faith through the specific lens of late 90s Christianity in upstate New York.
This is an immersive, interactive experience that takes between 2.5-3 hours and involves locations across Los Angeles, starting and ending at Thymele Arts. Participants will ride in a vehicle, talk to actors, stand, move, and walk through various locations. The show is not ADA accessible; we apologize for any disappointment or inconvenience.
This is a play involving religion; not a religious play. People of all faiths and backgrounds are welcome.
