Heaven Can Wait

By Harry Segall
Directed b Dan Sekanic

Auditions: Sunday, February 28 and Monday, March 1, 7-9 p.m.

Mr. Jordan is checking passengers who are to depart in an airplane for the Hereafter. The routine is interrupted by the arrival of Joe Pendleton, an attractive prizefighter who refuses to admit he is dead and induces Jordan to look up the "records", which reveal that Joe is not scheduled to arrive for another 60 years! But, as Joe starts to return to earth to continue his fighting, word reaches Heaven that Joe's manager, Max, had Joe's body cremated and Joe has no body to return to. Jordan promises to find Joe another body and is informed that the wealthy Jonathan Farnsworth is about to be murdered by his wife. So Joe suddenly finds himself in the home of the financier, visible as Joe to the audience but apparently as Farnsworth to Mrs. Farnsworth, per paramour, and everyone else. The comedy begins when the pompous "Farnsworth" unaccountably goes into training as a fighter. In addition, "Farnsworth" decides to share his wealth and right the wrong "he" did to his former adversary, Mr. Logan, when he finds himself falling in love with Mr. Logan's daughter, Bette. Bette, who had despised Farnsworth, unaccountably finds herself falling in love with him, too. But what happens when Joe is ordered to move on to his "next" body?

Performances will be April 16, 17, 18, 23, 24, 29, 30, and May 1, 2010. Tickets are $10 for Adults and $8 for Seniors and Children Under 12.
