Show Summary: When ABIGAIL, the most popular girl at school and a self-described prophet, declares that VANESSA ROSALES, the lone atheist, will be the next Virgin Mary, Vanessa responds by punching ABIGAIL in the face. This lands her in detention with SISTER FLORENCE, the last remaining nun on campus, who has been begging God for any sign of His existence. VANESSA may be the miracle FLORENCE is looking for, but not in the way either of them expected. The Inconvenient Miracle is a wholehearted exploration of faith, the unknown, self-identification, consent, choice, and healing friendship in a broken world.
