    Taking The Jesus Pill

    It's here. Jon and I, jh2media, finished the website for Taking The Jesus Pill. What's Taking The Jesus Pill? Read the following and then click above.

    "GO DOWN IN THE SOGGY PINE STRAW AND FORNICATE
    WITH YOURSELF LIKE AN EARTHWORM!"
    -The Reverend Lester Shoates

    HOLLYWOOD - Since Sunday, February 1, 2004, Hollywood's King King Club has played host to the multimedia "anti-musical", TAKING THE JESUS PILL, an original production by singer/songwriter/artist Charlie Terrell. Described by Terrell as "a Southern Gothic tale about a snake-handling preacher, his wild-ass daughter, and the boy that tries to save her" TAKING THE JESUS PILL tells its story using mediums including drama, painting, music, film and dance.

    TAKING THE JESUS PILL follows the journey of the hapless Johnny 3:16 as he struggles to find himself and where he stands in the mysterious, neo-gothic realm of the South. He meets a beautiful young girl named Tina and is drawn into her dark, unearthly world where her father, The Rev. Lester Shoates rules his own hedonistic cult of christianity.

    In a departure from the traditional musical format, TAKING THE JESUS PILL is a production in which Terrell and his band act as the musical narrators, adding layers of complexity to the action. The music, art projected on the walls,and the audience's interaction all play important roles in bringing this tale of despair, dreams and desire to life.

    Written and Directed by CHARLIE TERRELL
    Executive Producer POLLY PARSONS

    From a Hole in the Sky

    13 Stories of Horror, Madness, and Religion make up this dark-kudzu collection. A city run by angels with demanding burial rites. A white van jostling with clowns and warnings about sleep. A weeping pastor with a dead man in a boat. Homicide, Suicide, Jesus, and The Devil. To join a family, you're going to need some stitches. Kids today on their way to cut grass and play cowboys and injuns'. A hole in the ground where poor John Henry met a foul ending. And unholy birthing machines with a chosen one. All this and more. Where do bad things come from? They come FROM A HOLE IN THE SKY.
