A hysterical romp through America's spiritual enterprise. The show exposes the blurry line between self-help and faith. Yoga gurus, healthy chocolate peddlers and Buddhists with God complexes ego-trip their way toward absurdity. Do these people really exist? Yes they do.
Based on his own spiritual journey, which saw him leave the Catholic Church and meander through Buddhism and a host of other isms, the monologue juxtaposes wickedly funny and insightful characterizations with thoughtful commentary on his own spiritual seeking.
Lepore uses his fecund imagination to take a humorous and sincere look at the pitfalls and biases that make up the melting pot of spiritual choices. The intention of the piece is to create an ongoing dialogue that presents more questions than answers in terms of how we approach faith as a culture.

"Lepore comes across as a lone, common-man heroPossessing 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
