Perry focusses her internationally acclaimed social satire skills on western
spiritual tradition in
HOLY SH*T!
Stories from Heaven and Hell
and finds miracles in the midst of modern
life.
Janice's work is a masterful fusion of playful, intelligent monologues,
inventive costumes, wild gestures and soaring vocals, powered by provocative
text and physical comedy. Janice informs, delights and speaks to the concerns
of the audience, regardless of their social, political, sexual or cultural
identification.
This irreverent evening includes the birth of Aphrodite, a deconstruction
of the lives of St. Francis, St. Katharine, and Joan of Arc (every girl's
favorite Saint, featured in a 'Broadway Musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber'),
a commentary on the Flagellants, a small miracle, and a surprising seduction
scene featuring Tonto and the Lone Ranger.

My work is comedy, a universal language. Part
of what makes my work unique is my ability to connect well with the audience.
I use costumes, movement, music and lighting to communicate challenging
ideas and I love to play with language. Sometimes,
at the end of the show, someone will come up to me and say 'I never saw
anything like this in my life. You made me look at these concepts in a
new way and I haven't laughed so hard in years.'. It is remarkable to
feel that I am able to transmit my ideas to so many different kinds of
people. Performance is a state of grace.
