Jacqueline Stanzi is a college professor, a lifelong atheist and the matriarch of a family that includes a snarky bi-sexual son who runs porn websites and a promiscuous daughter engaged to a born-again Christian. Jacqueline is also battling dementia and has recently been relieved of her duties at the college for teaching intelligent design in a biology class. On the eve of her daughter’s wedding, Jacqueline decides that what her family really needs is a good old-fashioned healthy dose of religion. It’s just too bad that she has absolutely no knowledge of how to make that happen. Or does she? As the evening wears on, memories of a secret past come to light, forcing the siblings to reassess their past, as well as the future of their family.

This play was a huge hit at Passage Theatre! It's definitely a comedy but one with substance and depth. Jacqueline's mind is altering with age and we join her in an exploration between atheism and spirituality. ”

Who can make a brilliant comedy out of dementia and religious confusion? David Lee White can. Textured, dramatic and funny funny play. Passage production was out of site, but this needs more! ”
