Jen Tullock Brings Heartfelt Story to Playwrights Horizons
In an exciting development for the Broadway community, Jen Tullock, known for her captivating role in Apple TV+'s Severance, is set to make her solo show debut at Playwrights Horizons with Nothing Can Take You from the Hand of God in October 2025. This production promises to be a compelling exploration of identity, faith, and the complexities of returning home.
Diving Into Spiritual Trauma
Set in a backdrop of her ultra-religious upbringing, Tullock's narrative focuses on a queer memoirist’s return to her hometown, where she confronts her past. Tullock has described the performance as the "most honest exploration" of her own "spiritual trauma." She aims to present unfiltered truths without absolving herself or her experiences, making for a raw and moving performance.
A Unique Theatrical Experience
The direction by Jared Mezzocchi combines live action with recorded video to enhance the storytelling. Tullock is taking on all the roles, showcasing her versatility as she embodies a range of characters, from a caped Polish child to a tough literary agent, displaying her depth and talent. This multifaceted approach to character performance invites the audience to engage deeply with the material.
Part of a Thought-Provoking Lineup
Her solo show will be featured in Playwrights Horizons' fall 2025 season, a series focused on themes of distorted truth and collective delusion. Alongside Tullock's piece, the lineup includes Practice by Nazareth Hassan, which humorously examines independent thinkers falling under the influence of charismatic leaders. Such selections not only entertain but also reflect pressing societal issues, stimulating important conversations.
A Homecoming for the Memoirist
Tullock's work is not just a personal endeavor but resonates with many in the queer community and beyond. The struggles of reconciling one's identity in a constricting environment, and the emotional battles associated with navigating religious expectations are experiences many can relate to. Tullock's insightful portrayal is poised to create a vital dialogue about acceptance, understanding, and healing.
Conclusion: A Must-See Production
With her extensive background in solo performances in both Chicago and New York, Tullock is bringing forth a performance that promises to be deeply personal and universally relatable. Mark your calendars for October 2025 as this show is expected to leave a lasting impact—one that speaks to the heart of the audience.
