WITNESS! As never before seen in Heaven or Earth! The ascension of St Joan of Arc into Heaven! Confusion about Sainthood! Discussions of VIRGINITY! Trans Saints!Queer Angels!Cake! Welcome to Saints’ Heaven, and congratulations for being here! You must be really great. Today is St. Marinos’ Saints Day and we’re so glad that you could join the other Canonized to celebrate him. The Angels have helped him prepare his reenactment for you all, and we hear that Jesus is making a cake. We might even have a special guest arriving - have you ever heard of Joan of Arc? How to Become a Saint (while wearing pants) uses clown, physical theater and music to celebrate the queerness of sainthood.

But over time they prove that even the most fascist, controlling society can never stop people from being who they truly are. Come to The Meeting. Careful what you say.
