"An indelible portrait of small town America, both universal and entirely specific... The characters could be your neighbors, helpful and otherwise... Conveys the quiet ache of human existence... Unfolds with humor and efficiency, even as it contains the weight of the world... The music that weaves through the play, classical and spiritual, registers as a character in its own right."
Gloria is getting on in years. She lives alone and needs some help. Her long-time neighbor helps manage her money. Her brand-new neighbor helps in her tomato garden. Suddenly Gloria finds herself in a cosmic clash of good vs. evil. But who is which?
Featuring Grace Dietrich, Vaughn Fritts, Mary Jenkins, & Jamie Gerber.
