my beef with god

A solo play written by Sabria.

“My Beef With God” is a raw, compelling solo play that navigates faith, trauma, and self-discovery with biting humor and unflinching honesty. Through an intimate, yet dynamic performance, it dismantles religious conditioning, explores the weight of generational ideologies, and reclaims one’s personal identity from the grip of fear and shame.

At its core, “My Beef With God” is about transformation. It blends stand-up-like wit with deep, personal storytelling, allowing audiences to laugh one moment and sit in quiet devastation the next. With a minimal set, (a desk, a bed, a chair, and a podium) the staging mirrors the simplicity of a sermon, a testimony, and a confession. The audience is confronted with refreshing candor, humor laced with pain, and a truth so vulnerable it demands to be witnessed. The play is theatrically rich, utilizing movement, music, and harrowing symbolism to visually embody rebirth.

Theater thrives on stories that challenge, provoke, and heal. “My Beef With God” does all three, demonstrating theater in its purest form: intimate, unflinching, and profoundly human. It’s not a defiance of religion; it’s a reckoning with the self, offering a revelatory release. It invites audiences not to find answers, but to surrender to the messiness of it all. A baptism not into religion, but into radical self-acceptance.
