Have you experienced religious trauma?

If so, you’re not alone.

SINNER is a raw, hilarious, and unflinching one-woman musical tragicomedy. Through laughter, storytelling, and song, Alberta’s own Marla Torgerson invites the audience on a journey of deconstruction — of church, family, sexuality, and identity — exposing the painful absurdities of evangelical patriarchy with vulnerability and wit.

Written and performed by Marla, this powerful show weaves biting satire, heartbreaking memoir, and original music into a bold, tender reclamation of voice and Self.

SINNER isn’t just a show — it’s a conversation our world is aching to have. Before the final performances in September, you have a unique opportunity to participate in a rare and powerful workshop experience led by Marla Torgerson herself.

Each workshop includes a live performance of the show in progress, followed by a sacred sharing circle, where you can speak openly about your experience with religion, purity culture, patriarchy, or spiritual trauma — or simply listen and hold space for others.  This is humanity at its most raw and tender, in a safe place.

This will not be part of the final performances — this is your only chance to be part of this transformative creative process.

Your presence matters. Your voice matters. And your support helps bring this vital art to life — both as a fundraiser for CCSL and a healing experience for our community.

There is a $10 donation per workshop AND attendees will receive a $5 discount on ticket purchases for the final shows in September.

$10 cash at the door.

Doors open at 6:30, show starts at 7:00 PM
