ANDELA
by Jacquelyn Priskorn
Jordan has a bad cold when the messenger angel, Andela arrives to tell her she is carrying more than just a virus. She is also carrying a divine child! Jordan now has to explain this surprise pregnancy to her wife, with Andela hoping to spread the “good word” through the writings of sci-fi author, Scott English and the medical assistance of Scott’s ex-wife, the hand puppet wielding Dr. Krissi. This “miracle” will test two marriages, the institution of organized religion and an angel’s desire to be divine or stay grounded on Earth.

I loved the quick study angel Andela and so will a costume and lighting designer. What a fun romp through what felt like walking through an early morning dream you don’t want to wake from. Fantastical and very human all at once. Brava!
