  • Have you ever found yourself questioning your beliefs? Have you ever caught yourself thinking, what does it really all mean? What was it like to attend an all-girls Catholic high school in 2012? Do I miss Maroon 5 as a dominant force in culture? AM I GAY? Well, do we have the show for you.

    Something to Believe In follows a high school senior at an all-girls Catholic school in Kentucky hurtling towards graduation in the year 2012. Forced to confront the religion that raised her while simultaneously discovering the undeniable, blossoming queerness inside her soul, she asks her congregation (we mean audience): Can these two pieces of a person grow alongside each other? Should they? Something to Believe In explores what it means to actually believe in something (who’d-a thunk), who "deserves” a place in heaven, and how to build a water powered car.
