Description
Satan is sure that his overachieving son will run Hell someday, but his wife has a secret that may change everything. Jesus wants to quit his job to start a Christian metal band, and now it's up to God to find a new Messiah...but the person he has in mind doesn't want the job. Will God be able to find a suitable Messiah? Will Christian metal be as terrible as it sounds, or will Jesus take the music business by storm? Will Satan and Angel's relationship survive Angel's betrayal? You'll find answers to these questions and more (How did Judas end up with a courtroom TV show?) in Never Trust an Angel and Other Plays.

Excerpt:
Â
GOD
Michael, Chris...the last eleven weeks have been quite a journey, but every journey has to end sometime. For one of you, your journey will end tonight, and for the other...well, you'll be starting a new journey, one that has only been taken once before.
Â
CHRIS
                        (jumping up)
           I am so pumped!
Â
GOD
I don't recall telling you to stand, Chris. What did I say was the third-most important quality in a Messiah?
Â
CHRIS
           Long hair?
Â
GOD
           No, that's number one.
Â
(Michael raises his hand.)
Â
GOD (cont'd)
           Yes, Michael?
Â
MICHAEL
           The ability to follow directions!
Â
GOD
           Michael-1, Chris-0.
Â
(Chris pouts and sits back down.)
Â
GOD (cont'd)
Chris, when you first came to the island, did you have any idea that you would make it this far in the game?
Â
CHRIS
Actually, I did, God...because I knew that I would do whatever it takes to win!
Â
GOD
           And exactly what would that be?
Â
CHRIS
           Lying and stabbing everybody in the back!
Â
GOD
Well, you've made it to the final two, so I guess your strategy worked.
Â
CHRIS
           What can I say? Law school taught me well.
Â
GOD
Indeed. What about you, Michael?
Â
MICHAEL
I had a simple strategy: what would Jesus do? I just did my best to treat the other contestants with kindness and respect...after all, that's what Jesus was known for.
Â
CHRIS
                        (coughing)
           Suck-up!
Â
GOD
So your strategy was the complete opposite of Chris' approach, yet it still worked...simply amazing!
