Five Sisters Productions

Julia Sweeney's third autobiographical monologue, Letting Go of God takes the audience through her Catholic upbringing and how personal events in her life and that of her family led her to a disbelief in a personal universal deity.

Once upon a time, a neighborhood in Buffalo, New York was mysteriously showered with $20 bills. Theresa, a young girl who everyone thinks is a saint, doesn’t have much trouble convincing her loose-knit found family that the money is a gift from Heaven. Years later, Theresa, who has become a nun, has an epiphany that it is time to pay the money back, so she calls the eccentric group together to repay the “loan.” The problem is, nobody wants to give back the money, nobody has the money, they don’t know to whom it belongs, and most of them can’t stand each other.

What happens when a man meets the woman of his dreams, and it turns out she wants to be Just Friends?
