I wish all Scientologists would see this
Cathy is a top-notch performer and really likable person who got swept up in Scientology. i'm glad she's out, and I'm glad she's telling her story. With the help of great direction by Shirley Anderson, Cathy's show is tight, RICH, and I have a feeling this could be a two or three parter!...
