A rare and highly entertaining peek into a bizarre world through the eyes of a beautiful, likable, funny kind soul. I would recommend it to friends and encourage anyone who's curious about Scientology to go!

Cathy Schenkelberg gives a powerful, constantly surprising performance in this emotional and very funny one-woman show. As she portrays her experience trapped in the Church of Scientology, she becomes a wide range of characters, from her auditors, to her own father, to her Scientology peers, to a young, naive version of herself. Her intensity mounts as we watch her rising monetary debt, projected on the back wall, and feel her pain and confusion as she learns about Martians in volcanoes and crawling on her skin. I would totally recommend this show to anyone - the performance is as stunning as the story is devastating....

I've been interested in this subject for a while, and in the people who have gotten involved and also gotten out, so this play was right up my alley and I was really excited to see it and I was definitely not disappointed. I loved the performance. What a really beautiful and talented woman, a good story teller and also included some song and dance - definitely a talented artist. I did find it a little sad, even teared up when she was telling about saying goodbye to her dad, but overall I found the message hopeful. And as some other reviewers have mentioned, I'd highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in joining this cult or any other, but specifically Scientology. I'd definitely see this one again and just might if it fits in...

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!...
