You may remember her best as Pat on Saturday Night Live, the sexually-ambiguous, annoyingly-voiced character, but Julia Sweeney has many other (and I must say better) talents. She had a wonderful one-woman show called God Said, Ha! about how she had developed cancer shortly after her brother died of cancer. It is one of the most poignant, moving, and truly funny pieces of art about cancer out there (the other moving, though not funny pieces is Wit, a play and movie). Although it began as a play, it was later turned into a film by Quentin Tarantino.

And now Julia is bringing her “Letting Go of God” one-woman show to New Jersey! And it appears to be for just one day! So buy your ticket now!!

LETTING GO OF GOD, NOVEMBER 9, SOUTH ORANGE, NEW JERSEY.
