Welcome to Camp Liahona: an LDS Girls Camp for Young Women hoping to forge lifelong friendships, strengthen their relationship to their Heavenly Father, and experience the beauty of His Creation. There is absolutely nothing nefarious or gay going on here.

Sweat, hormones, discharge secreting through the landscape. Teenage girls learning about rules in a world that isn’t really built for their actual desires. Its world is full of rules and people who seem to choose which rules to follow, and when to hide or reveal which rules they follow. Leaders with no followers, followers with no leaders. There’s a sinister presence behind the singing, the stickers, the fun—is it God? Who’s going to betray who? Who wants to kiss who? Who wants in, who wants out?

Liahona went up as a reading of a new play in Clubbed Thumb’s Summerworks, written in the theater’s Early-Career Writers’ Group.
