DeSoto Corner Theater Presents a Comedy With Mortifying Consequences

Prominent businessman John A. Money’s life is suddenly thrown into chaos when a quirky donut-eating Angel of Death in Bermuda shorts pays him a visit. “Closure: The Problem with Money” will be presented by the CrossWise Players at the DeSoto Corner Theater (corner of Hampton and Pleasant Run) on September 24, 25 and 26.

     Billed as a “comedy with mortifying consequences,” this play follows the life of businessman John A. Money whose goal is to succeed “whatever the cost.” When John is suddenly faced with impending death he realizes how severely he’s neglected the important things of life. His situation is complicated by the eccentric Angel of Death who appears in a puff of smoke and tries to collect John and take him to the pearly gates.

This original production was written by local playwrights, Leon McWhorter and Alan Elliott. J King of DeSoto plays the lead role of John A. Money and the Angel of Death is portrayed by Anthony Skinner of Duncanville.
