[NoHo Arts District, CA] – Missionary Positions, written and performed by Dan Prevette, directed by and developed with Jessica Lynn Johnson, presented in association with the Zephyr Theatre comes to the Hollywood Fringe Festival 2023.
What the f*ck is up with Evangelicals? Good question! Dan can help. Born to devout Christians who had committed their lives to the service of the Lord, Daniel was raised in Thailand, Cambodia, and Romania, with a few years in the United States thrown in to stay relatable. Growing up a member of a Pentecostal Church, he always believed his mission was clear – bring salvation to the lost. However, cracks start to form when a good, Christian boy starts feeling a little lost himself. Missionary Positions includes adult language and discussion of adult themes, and is therefore not recommended for the little ones.
Using a multi-media blend of true stories, characters, and cultural commentary, this auto-biographical solo show about faith, doubt, and trauma finds Dan asking the question no one around him seemed interested in asking; “what’s so wrong with being lost?”
Dan made his solo performance debut as a part of Solofest 2020, the largest solo theatre festival on the West Coast, where Missionary Positions was selected for Best of Fest. Now, following unforeseen global events, Dan is resurrecting his show live at the Zephyr Theatre for his Hollywood Fringe Festival debut!
