Bold. Divine. Hilarious. Historic. Relevant.
A soul-stirring, one-woman musical reimagining the story of Mary Magdalene—from a woman’s perspective.
Hello! I’m Luisa. 👋 I’ve been creating epic, one-woman stand-up shows for the last 14 years in the UK. This show is my calling. God Is a Woman is the show I’ve been building toward my whole career. I believe in it so deeply, I sold all my belongings and moved to the U.S. with my Bernese mountain dog, Bernie, to develop it. I can’t do this alone. This is more than a show—it’s a movement. It’s a reclaiming. And I’d love for you to join us. Think: Female Book of Mormon—but before it got a producer.
YOU ARE MY PRODUCERS
I am making this show happen thanks to the incredible community I’m building. Over 400 amazing people are already supporting through Patreon—from $1 to $500.
If you'd prefer to make a one-off donation instead, I'm currently raising $150,000 to bring God Is a Woman to life.

Why $150,000? This is what it takes to create and platform a grassroots feminist musical from the ground up—to develop it, perform it, promote it, and give it the launch it deserves.
These costs are an estimate, built to give a clear sense of what it takes to do this properly—with care, quality, and fairness.
I’ve dedicated my life to my craft. Every show I have ever made as paid the way forward for the next one.
This isn’t just a passion project—it’s my purpose. And I will do whatever it takes to bring it to life. This is a six-month plan, and here’s how your support breaks down.
