This thoughtful and moving drama focuses on the relationship between older partner Adam, a neurotic atheist, and Luke, a partially closeted, impulsive and devoutly Christian actor. When an accident leaves Luke in a coma, family and friends descend on the couple and their different backgrounds spark tension. The play presents the couple's relationship in flashbacks as it developed leading up to the day of the accident. This humorous, honest, and thought-provoking play is about relationships, religion, and living for today.

Featuring: Chuck Duck, Dallas Nolen, Flannery Hooks, Matthew Whaley, Todd Ponder, and Debbie Smith
