Winner of the 2023 Valley Players' Playwright Award
​
First produced by the Valley Players in March, 2024
ONE NIGHT ONLY: Friday, April 18 - 7:30 pm
Fully staged reading directed by Doug Bergstein
What if an angel gave you a choice between a life of happiness or fame and fortune as a result of expressing your art? That is the question that Margaret, a poet, writer, and English professor, must face. Pem, a fallen angel chosen by God and Satan themselves to settle this wager, comes to earth to find an artist to pose this question to, with admittance to heaven & wings or hell & a flamethrower on the line for Pem.
​
This 2024 production of a new play is returning to the stage for a one night only fully-staged reading on Friday, April 18 at 7:30pm. With some tightening up of some scenes and rewriting of others, this 2023 Vermont Playwright Award winner has a new lease on life and you get a chance to breathe it in.
