Losing My Religion: Confessions of a New Age Refugee

Synopsis:
Losing My Religion: Confessions of a New Age Refugee, the first part in the trilogy on the underbelly of the self-help movement, is a one-man show written and performed by Seth Lepore; a hysterical romp through Americas spiritual enterprise. The show exposes the blurry line between self-help and faith. Yoga gurus, healthy chocolate peddlers and Buddhists with God complexes ego-trip their way toward absurdity. Losing My Religion is a humorous, ironic and sardonic look at what Lepore describes as the blurry line between self-help and faith. Based on his own spiritual journey, which saw him leave the Catholic Church as a teenager and meander for over 20 years through Buddhism and a host of other isms, the monologue juxtaposes wickedly funny and insightful characterizations of the people he has met along the way with thoughtful commentary on his own spiritual seeking. The intention of the piece is to create an ongoing dialogue that presents more questions than answers in terms of how we approach faith as a culture.

SuperHappyMelancholyexpialidocious

Synopsis:
A stranger-than-fiction satire about the war on thought. The happiness industry is turned on its head to reveal the farcical ideology of the positive thinking movement. Think you know happiness? Think again! From Texas megachurches turned motivational hothouses, to the latest testament of self-actualization from Oprah's Book Club, nothing is safe from Lepore's scrutinizing looking glass.
