When a couple suffers a tragic accident, their grief propels them into a fantastical world where the Tooth Fairy sings, their flight attendant is a cross dresser and GI Joe offers family counseling. It's a lyrically absurd journey of love, loss and laughter. Jenny Schwartz's play is directed by Rory Kozoll and features Troy Blendell, Paul Caramagno, Alana Dietze, Andrea Grano, Tara Karsian, Amanda Saunders and Jeremy Lee Shranko. God's Ear was a finalist for the 2007 Susan Smith Blackburn Award. Learn More

Description
The Visionary Position is a one-woman comedy that a hack agent might pitch as Sex and the City meets A Christmas Carol, or Desperate Housewives meets Medium and Bewitched. The multimedia show stars comedienne Carla Collins as herself...and four of her imaginary friends.
Carla is a cosmopolitan workaholic adjusting to her newly-divorced existence. Unlike the Tang-mixing, bridge-playing, car-pooling soccer moms who surround her, Carla has never even contemplated motherhood. ("At my age I don't know whether to have a kid or date one.") That is, until she discovers she is late--and not in the fashionable sense.
While awaiting the results of a home pregnancy test, Carla shares the story of her night of potential conception with her ex three weeks prior. In the midst of this possibly life-altering crisis, Carla is visited by four of her favorite imaginary friends who now serve as "spirit guides," helping her address questions about motherhood, spirituality and a woman's role in the 21st century.
Carla's alter egos include: Bunny McLennahan, a wealthy socialite who has a major case of "jungle fever" and a fondness for plastic surgery; Soufflé, a snotty, chain-smoking French lingerie model; and Ziggy Santa Monica, an abrasive, Jewish L.A.-based gossip columnist.
