Life On My Knees
By: William Missouri Downs
Directed by: Christine Adams
A Ph.D. in English lit isn't worth the paper it's written on - just ask Dr. Helen Hand. Desperate for a job, she drunkenly agrees to teach at a conservative Bible college in the middle of nowhere Kansas. The problem - she's a skeptic, a liberal, and gluten intolerant. She enters a world of rigid moral rules: no smoking, no alcohol, no doubting. Working undercover, she sets out to enlighten the fundamentalist students, but it quickly goes to hell. This small cast comedy looks at our need for faith and reason.
CHARACTERS
DR. HELEN HAND (30ish) A newly minted English PhD from the
University of California, Berkeley. She has $100,000 in
student debt and is desperate for a job. An agnostic.
DICK CHENEY (22) A tall, clean-cut, handsome farm boy and
college quarterback. He would be fantastic in bed if he
weren't a virgin.
PEARL FANKHOUSER (19) An innocent nubile college student. Her
parents might have been Pat Boone and Snow White. A cheerleader
for the Lord.
LLOYD DEWEY (40ish) A geeky professor & youth pastor who has
self-published two failed novels. His wife died of boredom
three years ago.
