A Very Merry Unauthorized Children’s Scientology Pageant – LIVE! – exceptionally directed by Sean Pollock is a miraculous marvel, indeed tongue-in-cheek satire with a child-like smirk, full of tremendous songs sung tremendously, humor uplifting, even with the laughing at ourselves inevitably harmonizes hope to still dance with brooms.  Oh, the costly irony of self-deception wrapped in the wit of writer Kyle Jarrow.

Surely, neither faithful nor faithless can explain the myriad of beliefs to which we humans religiously pursue, gullibly prostrate before and with fists clinched, cling – while thinking and feeling ourselves superior to all in our animal kingdom collective. 

Are we by default more moral than animal predators simply because some among us are comfortable communicating with and through abstract concepts?

Although, while we humans can process information, isn’t information, from self-serving sources, overwhelmingly subjective, unless and until our discerning human objectivity defends us from the corruption of being sold?

We humans after all, unlike our lesser animal relatives, are magnets for Popup Ads, the pitch of never-ending marketing professing upending remedies for problems we never knew we had. 

Streaming opposite forces manipulating our most proclaimed superiority to the animal kingdom:  the ability not only to know but to reason; to tap into the infinite every time we utter the words:  I Am – lest we forget to remember – the child we left behind.

A Very Merry Unauthorized Children’s Scientology Pageant – LIVE! is a marvel to behold in a musical mirror reflecting the gullibility of our intellect – a choregraphed malleability of our self-imposed needs – and a lyrical recognition of the lies we tell ourselves – all while balancing Libra’s scale. 

A Very Merry Unauthorized Children’s Scientology Pageant – LIVE!  Is both sides of a tale in which only the enlightened honesty of children could be our guiding light to – think for ourselves.
