Scientology Spoof Wins Award

The musical A Very Merry Unauthorized Children’s Scientology Pageant, which I wrote about more than once, has been honored with the Obie Award.

Ernio Hernandez writes for Playbill:

A Very Merry Unauthorized Children’s Scientology Pageant is a self-proclaimed "bizarre new holiday classic — part avant-garde performance art, part children’s theater — based on the actual principles of Scientology and the seriously unbelievable life story of founder L. Ron Hubbard." ... "We’re excited to take this production to the very center of the Church of Scientology – Los Angeles. Since the whole goal of the show is to imagine how the Scientologists might stage a nativity pageant, there’s no better place to try than in their Jerusalem," stated Timbers in a release.

The play will now be shown in Los Angeles as well; combined with the award, this might lead to more publicity and more people watching it. I doubt that the Church of Scientology will be to happy if that happens.
