The "monologue" portion didn't have me entirely sold. How could a one-woman show hold my attention for 2 hours? And, to my surprise (and un-surprise, actually, because it's Julia Sweeney), she DID hold my attention for 2 hours! I was completely entertained by, enamored with, and moved by her entire monologue. It was incredibly fascinating to hear her story about being raised Catholic, and the life-altering route her path of discovery went down after two LDS missionaries knocked on her door one day. An excerpt from her monologue:
Yep. I'd highly recommend taking the time to watch or listen to her monologue. It was so.very.interesting for me, especially as someone who was raised atheist and has never seen the world through a theistic lens. Way different the usual dry dribble I'm used to when it comes to atheists. Very provoking and fascinating.
The audio version of her monologue is available on Youtube, but I know for sure that actually watching her do the monologue is damn entertaining.

I so remember that movie (show/skit). Very interesting story Julia Sweeney shares, too. But I'll be honest, I watched it a few days ago on your blog and can't remember much. I shall watch it again!
