elevator pitch, 90 seconds

"Working in the fringe-y theatre biz, I've seen a million shows ... But I've never seen anything quite like this one ... It's great, yeah, but the work isn't just entertainment, it's IMPORTANT."

-- Audience member who's in the biz

A one-person rendition of a true-life criminal trial — where you become the jury, and walk out questioning everything …

A funny, eerie, irreverent, hearts-and-minds-shifting live-documentary, The Passion of Pauline doesn’t just want to tell an activist’s story — it looks to further her mission …

Activist Pauline Campbell sacrificed everything fighting to improve or outright abolish prisons, so, of course, the government tried to lock her up in one. But if a criminal trial is nothing but a pompous gameshow, why can’t you and I go back and do a TV rerun?!

Oh, and we'll be playing against talking chimpanzees ... Lots and lots ... of talking chimpanzees..

Trigger Warning �: The Passion deals with heavy stuff such as suicide, sexual assault, dug addiction, and incarceration ❤️‍��❤️‍�❤️
