Welcome to the EarthChxrch!

Welcome to the EarthChxrch!, performed by Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Choir, combines activism and highly responsive entertainment. The show includes songs, rituals, testimonials from the audience and a 15-minute sermon by Bill Talen as the energetic, charismatic revivalist preacher Reverend Billy. Each show is different but all are motivated by a profound imperative—to strengthen individual connection to the Earth, develop pathways to social change and hold financial institutions and policy makers accountable for their role in the Climate Crisis. Talen, as Reverend Billy, engages humor and radical politics to critique the excesses of consumer culture and the influence of large corporations. He playfully mimics religious rituals to convey an activist message. The concept is funny, but also deadly serious.
