Lisa didn't mention that while you're being ordained as a card-carrying minister, you can also have your sins instantly absolved. In fact, it might be a good idea to start your ministry with a clean conscience, yes? And it's plenty easy. No need to get on your knees and actually admit that it was YOU who fed the fatal peanut butter to your best friend's tragically anaphylactic crisis-prone guinna pig, and then go off and say 5o rosaries (which is like what, 2500 Hail Marys or so?). Just click and be free.
Has anybody done any research/study on the obsessive and/or compulsive need for online absolution of sins?

SUPPORT OPERA CABAL
What the Press is Saying
"...one of the most searingly painful and revealing operatic performances in recent times."
Chicago's "most daring and avant-garde" opera company, Opera Cabal "aspires to bulldoze opera's definition."
Chicago Magazine
"A thrilling contrast to Lyric Opera and Chicago Opera Theater...Opera Cabal exhibits the audacity and daredevilry rarely found in anything calling itself 'opera' these days."
Time Out Chicago
"Whatever you want to call it, this production takes its audience on a wild, compelling, multimedia ride..."
Time Out New York
"Opera Cabal showed what’s possible when tradition is eschewed, but that tradition still has something to say, and it helps to contextualize the experiments."

OUR MISSION
Opera Cabal Performing Arts Association NFP is reshaping how opera is imagined, produced and performed in the United States. Composed of a versatile collective of adroit, accomplished young artists, Opera Cabal propels the opera of today by presenting unpredictable new work and modeling new forms of audience involvement. In an era of rapidly changing audiences and shifting musical genres, Opera Cabal embraces interdisciplinary collaboration, new commissions, and intimate and unusual venues. Opera Cabal reaches into to neighboring visual, theatrical and technological communities to broaden the audience for and the definition of opera in a new century, reviving the integrity of a revered art form with an infusion of new energy and eclectic design.
Since its founding in 2006, Opera Cabal has identified and recruited artistic teams working at the highest level in fields traditionally unrelated to opera in order to bring new blood and fresh ideas to the art form. Opera Cabal’s commitment to building a diverse, engaged audience for opera in the 21st century is exemplified behind the scenes by the Hyde Park Salons, a monthly performance series established in 2006 on Chicago’s South Side. The Salons serve as a forum for local artists and scholars, offering a rigorous workshop atmosphere for uncommon contemporary performance. Opera Cabal is also the commissioning force behind the brand new project series, Opera Shop (begun in 2011). In partnership with our co-producer, High Concept Laboratories, Opera Shop introduces each autumn the work of one new team of exceptional artists with a history of working together outside of opera to explore cutting-edge approaches to recombining music and theater.

Hahaha. You're so fuckin' neurotic.
Interesting title proposal. The competition for the baked beans and bean briskett seems to be heating up.
