Recommendations of Losing My Religion (in 140 Characters or Less)

  • Peter Fenton: Losing My Religion (in 140 Characters or Less)

    I loved this play. What a powerful illustration of the idea of someone smart who has ears to hear growing and changing. I saw lots of parallels in Charity's arc with the real life story Megan Phelps-Roper and her relationship with Westboro and her mother, but played in such a way that's applicable to many, many people and relationships. And—that ending. What an excellent ending! I really want to see a production of this play.

    A fascinating look at some radical characters facing some major turning points. Well done!

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: Losing My Religion (in 140 Characters or Less)

    I was honestly afraid to read this at first. The subject matter, religion through hate, is so very upsetting and triggering. But I'm glad I made it through to the end. It was actually quite beautiful, watching Charity struggle through the messiness of her Biblical convictions and interpretations. Just like in real life, we don't get an ending wrapped up with a bow, but we do get hope. And I loved that.

  • Sarah Cho: Losing My Religion (in 140 Characters or Less)

    What a relevant and heartfelt play about forgiveness and love. I couldn't stop turning the page. I wanted to know what was going to happen next for every single one of these characters. The play does an incredible work of challenging our ideologies to understand, to sympathize, the other perspective. This is another play I would love to see live in a post-covid world!!

  • Maxwell A. Johnson: Losing My Religion (in 140 Characters or Less)

    A challenging play that brings a crisis of faith to the forefront. Poignant, powerful, and unique. Langley brings a fresh and dynamic voice to these characters, and their use of "characters". Modern and relevant.

  • Stephanie Elmir: Losing My Religion (in 140 Characters or Less)

    Lucky enough to have seen the USC workshop, this play is even more powerful with the physical use of the Twitter-verse. It drives and manipulates the characters' relationships, already complicated on their own. Devastating and full of hope, this play should not be underestimated.

  • Makena Metz: Losing My Religion (in 140 Characters or Less)

    In this serious drama, you have an unlikeable protagonist- but she is actually very likeable with her cute twitter and overtly theatricalized Judy Garland scenes. The magical realism of this play leaves much needed breathing space for the audience to recover from the harsh reality of the world. The main theme of learning to choose your own value systems, and therefore your family, strikes me as a relevant and necessary dialogue to have in the theatre. Finally, this show leaves the audience with a bittersweet feeling, a wondering if we need to question ourselves as well as the characters.

  • Shaun Leisher: Losing My Religion (in 140 Characters or Less)

    Got a chance to read this play and listen to the reading on the At The Table podcast and I've come to the conclusion that this play needs to be produced everywhere. So relevant today in this world where bigoted religious extremists are emboldened to hate more by Trump. It will make you laugh and definitely start conversations. Hannah Langley has done an incredible job finding humanity in such despicable people.

  • Hallie Palladino: Losing My Religion (in 140 Characters or Less)

    Hannah Langley's play is smart, funny and thought-provoking. The unlikely Twitter friendship between a young woman being raised whose family organizes hate-fueled demonstrations and a young Jewish man who is willing to keep the dialogue open even when he knows the worst. This play gives us a window into an American subculture that we rarely see in drama showing us that sometimes staying engaged and keeping the conversation going is the bravest thing we can do. It's a timely and important piece that treats the divisive issues it tackles with appropriate seriousness.

    Wow this is so well done. I've known people raised around this kind of hate and its wonderful how she was shown the truth of her families cruelty. Relevant and moving
