John and Jill Hanks live on a farm in rural Texas. After Jill takes an impromptu trip to a commune that may or may not be a cult, John is met with a changed woman and a string of dead chickens. John grows suspicious as Jill maintains contact with the group’s leader, Wade. Struggling to understand the true motivations behind the supposed commune, John’s paranoia boils over when Jill makes a shocking choice with both marital and culinary consequences.
Absolutely Not a Cult is a modern satire attacking the ignorant nature of the American political landscape. In a nation where corrupt politicians hide behind vapid platitudes, so do its citizens. Does anybody actually know what they believe in, if anything at all?

Loved this concept ! The script is clever and the actors sell it well. Personally the second half of the show stole it for me. Great laugh out loud moments!
So far I found this was the best show, so much so, I’m going back for seconds. As for the actor who plays Wade, I wouldn’t mind meeting him on one of the trails !
Fun gimmick and concept for a show, starts off very strong. All 3 performers are engaging and enjoyable to watch on stage.
Loses a bit of itself in the second half of the script, but overall a fun watch!
The actor who plays Wade, the maybe/maybe not cult leader, absolutely has the charisma, the magnetism for the part. Heck, I might follow him to a commune. Engaging and fun.
