$Madison New Works Lab rehearsals✨ First up! Rehearsals with the cast and team of THE CHURCH OF BROKEN THINGS The Church of Broken Things follows the intertwined lives of three childhood friends—KK, Vick, and Faith —growing up in rural Oklahoma. Against a backdrop of poverty, broken families, and the suffocating influence of small town gossip, the girls navigate adolescence, survival, and the search for meaning in a world that repeatedly fails them. As they grow older, their relationships fracture and reform under the weight of secrets, trauma, and betrayal. Each character wrestles with her own form of brokenness: KK with her yearning for escape, Faith with her conflicted faith and desire, and Vick with the scars of abuse, abandonment, and secrets. The play shifts between dark humor and raw vulnerability, revealing how laughter and friendship become lifelines in a landscape of hardship. Darkly funny and deeply raw, The Church of Broken Things becomes a meditation on resilience, memory, and the messy, unpretty ways that broken people keep going.
