Playwright/performer Julie McNamara says---
“...Having been raised Catholic, I have been in “recovery” for a LONG TIME: all those prayers you didn’t actually understand, those many times in that scary confessional, and the constant guilt! I better still be apologizing! (Fear not- I am!) How does a good Catholic girl navigate sex, abortion, career, eating disorders, or... actually talking about feelings? Complete with music-only Mass-appropriate hymns, of course, with NONE of the lyrics changed at all- this show will really get you questioning what’s in those Hail Marys... A Confessional of a Recovering Catholic: The Musical first premiered in March 2023 at the People’s Improv Theater in NYC, and has since performed in various NYC venues including Magnet Theater, Caveat, and UCB. It also had multiple sold-out shows during its 2025 Edinburgh Fringe run..."
