What if the extreme Christian right in the USA got everything they wanted? Emmy winner Joe Janes's play, featuring 10 Chicago actors performing 40 characters, shows us the absurdity of a Christians-only country. The Bible becomes a textbook in history and science lessons, fetuses are assigned lawyers, homosexuality is a crime, corporations take over social services, women know their place, fairy tales are revised to reflect Christian values, belief replaces facts and our president is also a spiritual leader. Dinosaurs welcome! Joe Janes also teaches comedy writing and improv at The Second City and Columbia College.
