After a snowboarding accident in a Michigan blizzard, David makes his way to a tavern presided over by a clairvoyant bartender and occupied, despite the weather, by a quirky group of friendly regulars. He slowly realizes that "it's dead in here on Tuesdays" is to be taken literally, and the tavern is a sort of purgatory where everyone, including himself, is awaiting the next step in their afterlife journeys. In this enjoyable short play, Alles has given us characters with depth and heart.

This play starts out as the ultimate character study of rural Michigan and then suddenly it becomes a spiritual journey about the afterlife and faith. I love the world building here and the roles of the Szubinski Brothers are a great place to show off some stage combat and comic relief!

I love plays like this: taking a look at the afterlife, in a humorous and thoughtful way. It's not heavy or portentous, just a fact of "life" (or non-"non-aliveness"). The returning bar characters deal with their reality the best way they know how, while offering sympathy and support to the newcomers. Well done!
