Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] 10 Virgins in Chicago


Wow! I'm impressed there are 10 virgins in Chicago.

Before I lived on Earth I worked in the mailroom in Heaven and overheard many conversations in the Head Office which was next door (the walls were very thin).

One day God was in a really bad mood. He kept saying that even though he had once said he would not send another Flood to Earth after Noah behaved so nobly, he was rethinking. I mean, those evil movies, jazz, booze and lots of bad behaviour. HE was beginning to wonder if there was one pure soul left on Earth, and if not, it was time for another Flood.

This upset Saint Theresa, a very sensitive saint, and she worked out a deal: she would visit the big cities and report back to Heaven every night by telephone until she found a pure soul. Then Earth would be spared.

Well she started in London, Brussels, Rome, Berlin and each night phoned God to report that so far, his discust was justified, but she was sure to find a pure soul. She just KNEW there would be a good soul somewhere. The following nights she called from Peking/Beijing, then Sydney, Tokyo, and on and on.

Finally she headed for New York.  That evening she phoned Heaven and admitted no success, but felt confdent that she'd find a sinless soul in Chicago. Still no favorable result to report when phoning in from Chicago.

At last she visited Hollywood. To Heaven's surprise there was no nightly phone call from Saint Theresa. Night after night passed with no call.

Finally, after three weeks had passed, a call went through from Hollywood. A voice. sounding a bit familiar, said "God? Terry here."

I'm not sure what happened after that. I got tossed out of Heaven for eavesdropping.

Just wondering if anyone on the list who is in or around Chicago on the list
has seen "10 Virgins", which mixes puppets and actors? It's playing at
Chicago Dramatists until the end of the month and the playwright Laura
Jacqmin is supposedly a rising star on the New York/Chicago theatre scene.
