In this melancholy comic romance, a forgotten chorus boy (Greenspan) from the theater of Ancient Greece has been stuck in a lonely purgatory these past 2000 years and is sent back to Earth on a mission from God. He now finds himself among a vacationing family in Montauk, caught off-guard by his re-discovered ability to feel love.

The production will feature scenic design by Rachel Hauck, costume design by Theresa Squire and lighting design by Matt Frey. The limited engagement will play through May 1.
