book & lyrics by Emily Claire Schmitt
music & additional lyrics by Emily Rose Simons
created by Emily Claire Schmitt & Ria T. DiLullo
A Workshop Production hosted by The Tank, produced by Skeleton Rep

Vanessa, the lone atheist at Saint Angela's school for girls, is still attempting to process the death of her beloved grandmother when the strange girl from school who claims to be a mystic declares that Vanessa is going to be the next Virgin Mary. After punching said mystic in the face, an act of self defense obviously, Vanessa ends up in detention with Sister Florence, the last remaining nun on campus. Florence, who is having a crisis of faith related to a carrot patch, is woefully under prepared to take on a grieving teenager. But it may be that miracles are just around the corner. Faith, fantasy, and farce collide in this irreverent comedy about life, death, and what it means to be loved.

Amy is trying. Trying to lose weight, trying to be popular, trying to do well in school... but it’s not working out very well. When a minotaur suddenly shows up in her backyard, Amy finds the unconditional acceptance she’s been looking for… but when the “mean kids” start turning up dead, she realizes that being best friends with a man-eating mythological beast might have its drawbacks. Will the minotaur be her salvation, or her downfall?
