HEAVEN CAN WAIT
Heaven Can Wait
July 10 - August 16, 2025
by Harry Segall
Directed by Diedra Celeste Miranda
As guardian angel Mr. Jordan is checking passengers who are to depart for the Hereafter, the routine is interrupted by the arrival of Joe Pendleton, an attractive prizefighter, who refuses to admit he is dead! Joe induces Jordan to look up the "records," which reveal that Joe is not scheduled to arrive for another 60 years! As he starts to return to earth, he discovers that his body has been, inconveniently, cremated and he must inhabit the body of wealthy financier Jonathan Farnsworth who is about to be murdered by his wife. The comedy begins when the pompous "Farnsworth" unaccountably goes into training as a fighter. This romantic sports fantasy-comedy explores how the resulting increasingly complex complications from this mistake can be undone, including Joe’s loss of memory of his previous existence and his true love Bette. Will Heaven wait for love, after all?
