Austin-American Statesman review
ABOUT THE PLAY
Church of the Passionate Cat is a detective story turned on its ear: a metaphysical mystery that spins us into a dance-fueled ritual at the city’s most secretive nightclub.
Six months ago, Detective Molly Maguire lost her partner in a freak ferry boat accident. Now she’s drunk, broke, and on the verge of losing her trusted secretary, Ivy. When a mysterious man offers her a chance to work again, everything Molly knows about detective work, her missing partner, and the nature of faith itself is up for grabs.
Church of the Passionate Cat blends film noir detective whoduniting with a jazz age church revival like you’ve never experienced before.
