Join us at Em and Em's Books for a Sapphic Star and BUA reading of the new queer play THE BINDING RETREAT by Olivia Billings.
About this Event

In a time where trad wives, "rapturetok", and mega churches dominate, THE BINDING RETREAT questions the purpose of faith, the phenomenon of modern evangelical Christianity, and divine coincidences in today’s world.


Content warnings include: homophobia, strangulation, talk of sexual assault, talk of death, use of the word “tribe” and “dyke”, mention of the group Hillsong, modern colonization or “mission trips”, and cancer
