INFERNA

by Joanna Castle Miller

A World Premiere

April 11-26, 2026

One night, on the mostly empty stage of a theater, a young playwright (Castle Miller) and a male actor who has agreed to assist her, take a deep dive into her childhood - specifically how church activities and school plays both provided “scripts” she faithfully followed each step of the way. Over the course of the evening, through comedic re-enactments, music, and sharing of stories, they begin to unravel and more fully understand the unstated and pervasive lessons learned from the texts passed down to her and that the mentors she adored aren’t who they appeared to be. 

 

"... a chukle driven ... evening ... with humor and satire as well as poinany and pathos ..."  -Bill Hirschman, Florida Theatre On Stage

" Once again, I was struck by the playwright's originality, performance talent, and break a way message for the masses"  - Mindy Leaf, South Florida Theater Magazine
