THE TABERNACLE OF HEDONISM

THE TABERNACLE OF HEDONISM
By Tom Miller

GENRE: Comedy
LOGLINE:

A group of misfits and oddballs in Gainesville, Florida form a church of
absurdity to legalize marijuana and defeat the Alien Motherhood. Based
on a true story.

SYNOPSIS:

A performance artist who cannot manage his life builds a supportive

community of outsiders around a weekly variety show in Florida.

"The community that Tom and Reverend Angeldust create for other fringe

artists and outsiders gives the script a powerful emotional core that

clearly demonstrates the value of his mission. This is particularly well

illustrated through Lady Lace, who finds acceptance and dignity among

the performers at Undertown. There is a certain dedication to

antagonistic, non-commercial art that is reflected in both the author’s

approach and Tom’s subjective experience of reality, deliberately

seeming to make choices that alienate the audience and push back against

opportunities that might make the work more commercial. This

challenging philosophical and thematic point serves to make the value of

Tom’s show within his community even more profound, highlighting how

unique it is to have a space where art can be created entirely separate

from financial concerns." - The Black List PRESS: https://www.alligator.org/article/2019/05/local-resident-writes-a-love-l...
