In this episode, I chat with Tim Bratton, the Artistic Associate for Burnt Thicket Theatre who’s bringing his My Little Plastic Jesus to living rooms across Canada.

Part confession, part history lesson, part multimedia extravaganza, Tim finds hilarity and heartache as he unpacks his upbringing in evangelical pop culture, examining its folly and redeeming its faith.

We chat about:

* How Tim developed the coming of age story

* What writing and performing theatre is like in small spaces

* Filling the well: the practice Tim incorporates into his life to nurture creativity and faith

* The story behind the making of My Little Plastic Jesus

* And more!

Want to see the show in a living room near you?

My Little Plastic Jesus is on the road:

* Oct. 5-6, 2023 in Saskatoon

* Oct. 12-21, 2023 in southern Ontario

* Feb. 29 - Mar. 17, 2024 in Saskatoon, southern Alberta and across BC

If you’re in the London area, I'm hosting a performance on October 14. Get tix and come say hi to Tim and I.
