Mellow Drama is a burlesque-style contemporary performance that is bold, sensual, satirical, and playfully rebellious in spirit. With a playful voiceover narration, the performance invites audiences into a character’s journey through and hard-earned realizations about her upbringing in conservative Christian purity culture. Comparing the effects of high academic pressure, gender roles, and strict ballet training with the black-and-white thinking of a fundamentalist Christian’s notion of “purity,” the highly-stylized narrator’s storytelling reveals and pokes fun at the logical faults and mental gymnastics involved in abiding by these purity teachings. Offering catharsis in the form of hilarity, Mellow Drama invites audiences in to understand how ingrained beliefs affect the course of our lives.

Mellow Drama consists of:
