Losing My Religion Hits Northampton

My one-man show Losing My Religion: Confessions of a New Age Refugee is opening in Northampton this weekend at Dynamite Space. Here's a short review about the show:

"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 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.

Lepore comes across a lone, common-man hero…Possessing a rubber-faced ability to slide cleanly into character and deadly accurate powers of observation, Lepore’s acting is integral to the success of [the piece] and worth the price of admission alone.

Carefully chosen words make the satire wicked and the comedy rapier-sharp. His humor comes on many levels -- sometimes over-the-top, often much more subtle -- and that makes an evening rise above stand-up comedy to something closer to social commentary.” Jon Potter, Brattleboro Reformer
