    If you ever doubted that we might be in eco-trouble, this play practically confirms it. For those who ask "How could this happen?"...this dark comedy shows you exactly how. Great short piece for three actors.

    It is refreshing to be reminded that message plays do not need to be preachy and didactic, because the short comedy about the dangers of climate change featuring an angel, an alien, and a disturbingly 21st Century Wisconsinite is anything but. It is a true gift to be able to make you audiences bust a gut laughing while at the same time driving it home that our very own behavior is likely leading us to our doom. Well played, Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend.
