Reverend Billy & The Stop Shopping Choir in “Welcome to the Earthchxrch!”

Each holiday season, Reverend Billy & The Stop Shopping Choir revisit Joe's Pub with a new hour of rousing, moving, and then comic songs and sermonettes on the theme of activism in defense of the Earth. Designer and director is Savitri D. Performances of Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Choir combine activism and highly responsive entertainment. They are constantly changing and include songs, rituals, audience testimonials, and a 15-minute comic-then-serious 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, to develop pathways to social change and to hold financial institutions and policy makers accountable for their role in the Climate Crisis.
