Intelligent and humerous, everything is kept low key. The show zeros in on a well defined group of strangely upbeat small town folk as they unceremoniously come to grips with their impending doom…then God walks into the bar. Yes, it sounds like the setup for a bad joke but that’s what happens…he then approaches Shep with an offer that’s out of this world. Funny, witty and intelligent with a surprisingly upbeat end, it’s a show that has something for everyone. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>In fact Variety wrote: “Early One Evening at the Rainbow Bar & Grille” is a serio-comic tale of love, death, rebirth and a very strange book deal.
