Letting Go of God

Letting Go of God is Julia Sweeny’s most personal work to date. It chronicles her unexpected and hilarious journey when two Mormon missionary boys arrive on her doorstep. They inadvertently challenge her way of thinking about religion, God, and the nature of self. She ultimately leaves the Catholic church in which she was raised and which she loves deeply, and tentatively and reluctantly journeys down her own spiritual path and comes to conclusions which surprise almost everyone, especially herself. The show is a poignant story of a woman’s struggle with faith in our modern, scientific era.
