WHY DIDN'T I GET MARRIED?
Focus Arts Presents: "Why Didn't I Get Married?" An Explosive New Stage Play from Alan Charles.
"Why Didn't I Get Married?" is a provocative stage play that examines traditional religion's longstanding attitudes towards married and unmarried persons.
Through raw dialogue, powerful testimony, and moments of both tension and humour, the play challenges deep-rooted beliefs and how cultural expectations have shaped- and often limited - how individuals find acceptance within the church.
At its heart, the play asks hard questions:
- Is the church living in the past?
- What does the future hold for a church that refuses to evolve?
- Should the church adapt to modern realities, or hold fast to traditional beliefs?
By confronting the gap between sacred teachings and lived experiences, "Why Didn't I Get Married" invites audiences into a necessary conversation about inclusion, faith, and the path forward for religious communities facing a changing world.
