[NoHo Arts District, CA] – Michael Lovestrong brings his solo show UNWITNESSED: The Search for Identity After Leaving a Cult, directed by Jessica Lynn Johnson to the Soaring Solo Stars Series on November 7.
About UNWITNESSED: The Search for Identity After Leaving a Cult
What is life like when you are raised as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses? What is it like to leave a high-control religion after a lifetime of loyalty? How do you find identity when you are a pariah to everyone you love? I will explore the world of high control groups, my experience in one, and the steps I took to find authenticity through self-expression.
From the Creator Michael Lovestong
This is an autobiographical performance that I have been working on for the last two years. I had planned to perform last year but was held back by medical issues. I’m glad I waited because the story keeps getting better. The show is designed to provide some education on high control groups (cults) as well as real life examples of the issues faced by current and former members. I discuss the dangers of being convinced to wear a fake identity to fit into these groups. I’ll also review the difficult and unique road I’ve walked to find my authentic identity after leaving Jehovah’s Witnesses and losing everything.
