About The Show

"In 325 A.D., Emperor Constantine assembles the early Church to define Christian orthodoxy. But holy debates spiral into unholy chaos as four unruly bishops and one confused emperor clash over the nature of Christ. Featuring slapstick theology, musical numbers, and a lot of wine."

A Divine Comedy

This satirical musical explores the First Council of Nicaea with humor and heart, blending historical events with modern sensibilities.

Through song and satire, we examine how theological debates shaped Christianity while never losing sight of the human drama behind the dogma.
