For centuries, theologians have struggled with the concept of whether or not animals go to heaven.  The debate is over!  Laverne, heaven’s newest angel, has just received his very first assignment. Imagine the uproar that ensues when he’s been asked to bring in Target, heaven’s very first dog!  Will he pull it off, or will the FARTS (First Angelic Realm to Serve) vote down the addition of canines to heaven’s scenes?  If you’ve ever enjoyed the companionship of an animal, or marveled at real-life stories of animal heroes, this is the play for you!
