What Would Jesus Buy? A Musical Performance with Rev. Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping Gospel Choir

Reverend Billy and his gospel choir inform and entertain with a blend of street theater, political grandstanding, and performance art. Reverend Billy, using the persona of revivalist street preacher, and his choir spread a message of the corrupting power of consumerism, the need for refusing products produced in sweatshops, and a message of economic justice and environmental protection. They also exhort consumers to hold corporations and mass media accountable for responsible, ethical business practices. Activist groups and student organizations will have tables with sign-up sheets, information and displays before and after the performance.
