Truth:

This is a new monologue by Mike Daisey, who is probably best known for his expose of life at amazon.com, 21 Dog Years. This description is from the production materials: "Truth follows the fictional and non-fictional self-destruction of A Million Little Pieces author James Frey, the sordid and shocking tale of non-existent, world famous transsexual author J.T. LeRoy, and the mystery of the wildly prolific multiple personalities of Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa. Mike Daisey investigates the bizarre stories of these literary sensations and by reflecting his findings against his own history of lying and telling the truth this master storyteller illuminates the uncertain landscape of the emotionally true, the literally true, and the constant struggle to speak the truth."

Letting Go of God:

Letting Go of God, a one-woman show written and performed by Julia Sweeney, chronicles one woman's unexpected and hilarious journey when two Mormon missionaries arrive on her doorstep and inadvertently challenge her way of thinking about religion, God, and the nature of self. Letting Go of God is a comical and poignant story of a woman's struggle with faith in our modern, scientific era.
