A 'CONFESSIONAL' OF A RECOVERING CATHOLIC: THE MUSICAL To Have Special Easter Sunday Performance
The production is currently running at the Magnet Theater.
Actor and comedian Julie McNamara will once again perform her solo show, A "Confessional" of a Recovering Catholic: The Musical, at the Magnet Theater on Sunday, March 31st at 9pm.
Back by popular demand, the show is now a full hour long, and this will be a special Easter Sunday performance!
A first-hand account from a Catholic in "recovery", from navigating mixed messages about life to just talking about feelings, "A 'Confessional'" is a story of finding oneself in the confines of a strict religious upbringing- complete with comedy, and some Catholic hymns of course!
McNamara says: "Having been raised Catholic, I have been in 'recovery' for a LONG TIME: all those prayers you didn't actually understand, those many times in that scary confessional, and the constant guilt! I better still be apologizing! (Fear not- I am!) How does a good Catholic girl navigate sex, abortion, career, eating disorders, or... actually talking about feelings? Complete with music- only Mass-appropriate hymns, of course, with NONE of the lyrics changed at all- this show will really get you questioning what's in those Hail Marys..."
