By Young Jean LeeBoth a play and a religious ritual, Church promises to help you ask (and begin to answer) the hard questions that keep you on your toes. Are you happy?

Through prayer requests, sermons, dance and song, four reverends guide the audience in an extended conversation about God and the purpose of life.
