A fundraiser for the American Heart Association is set to begin in a formerly dilapidated brownstone which has been turned into a magnificent Designer's Showcase House. A man who had sheltered there before the renovation returns to collect his most prized possession, and a confrontation that will change lives rips through the beauty and tranquility of the transformed space. *Staring :: Agnes Hermann** *as Nancy Ferguson* :: *Sidney Perelman** as Marcia Rubinstein* :: *Paul Slimak** *as Frank Turner* :: *Bryant Caroll** *as James Beckleyn* :: *HEAVENS GATE* :: *By Berenice Kleiman* A tongue-in-cheek comedy in 10 minutes where three souls in heaven, from Aleppo, the Holocaust, and Rwanda, bask in their now-earned peaceful rest. Suddenly they are horrified to see a huge tower with golden letters begin to rise up before their very eyes. This is truly a problem for St. Peter to solve. *Staring* :: *Agnes Hermann* **as Raisa* :: *Paul Slimak** as Abraham :: *Peter Lawson Jones* *as Gahiji :: *Peter Ferry** as St. Peter :: *Berenice Kleiman* as Narrator :: *KATYDIDS* :: *By Agnes Herrmann* :: A Bug’s eye view of the environment. *Staring *::* Paul Slimak** as Narrator :: *Cat R.
