The Gospel Trilogy
Three plays about faith, identity, and freedom
By Chad T. Dyar | Published January 30, 2026 | $20.00
A preacher's kid learns to survive a gospel family that sings about heaven and keeps a belt on the bench. Across three plays, The Gospel Trilogy follows Chad from a South Carolina parsonage to a college recital hall to a bar that becomes a church for those the church expelled, and finally to the quiet after the music stops. THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO NO ONE explores childhood survival in a house where appearances mask brutality and silence is mistaken for safety. THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ME chronicles departure from inherited faith, rigid performance, and bodily shame toward freedom, queerness, and truth. THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO US finds Chad in Atlanta's oldest gay bar, where chosen family gathers every Tuesday. THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO WHAT'S LEFT is the epilogue - a single chair, a single lamp, the hum in every room after everyone leaves. This is not a story about forgiveness. It is a story about freedom. Complete production materials included: staging notes, character breakdowns, design specifications, and full Musical Appendix with sheet music for all hymns and original compositions.
