When the end of the world interrupts Jack’s busy day at the office, he is more then a little depressed at the prospect of spending his final moments with Pete, his pet rock. Not long after his office caves in however, Tori, a free spirited accountant from down the hall, hammers her way through his office wall with her high heel. He is looking for salvation; she’s just looking for the bathroom. Together they find the answers, but not in the forms they expect. You see, God has a little plan of her own, and it requires a higher commitment than either Jack, or Tori, have ever had to make before.

    What a hoot! An extreme situation provides the perfect setting for legitimate hilarity and heartfelt human connection! In the midst of all the silliness and rubble, there is some profound humanity at the core of this beautiful play! We are excited that Act One of this play will be performed at Iowa State University's student directed One Act Festival!
