Join cult enthusiast Lisa VanArsdale for an immersive evening of exploring religious cults, why they happen, and what keeps them going. From creation to revelation and from celibacy to polygamy, Lisa recounts her intimate experiences with culty groups from around the world through storytelling, videos, and her personal collection of literature and artifacts (and can you imagine a better space for this than beneath the stained glass here at West Art?!). Come follow your cultiosity, and maybe have your very own crisis of faith along the way! Tickets can be found here. Hallelujah!

More about Lisa!

Lisa VanArsdale is a comedian, podcast host, and cult enthusiast whose love of culty groups and curiosity about the divine has taken her to holy sites all over the world. Lisa's years of visiting with these groups is what drives her podcast-turned-live-performance "Lisa Joins A Cult." Lisa approaches the complexity of cults and the people inside these communities with tenderness and humor, sharing a side of humanity many outsiders don't get to see. Lisa has performed standup on three continents, but mostly in the Lehigh Valley, PA. She is also probably the only human to own both Mormon underwear and a Moonie crown and she's obnoxiously proud of that.
