About this ebook
"Jesus Christ is Alive and Well and Living in Sweden" is an irreverent look at God's new Public Relations Department and the Messiah's latest visitation to a gay couple during a late-night screening of "Forrest Gump" at a SONY® Multiplex in Artificial City, New Jersey.
"Jesus Christ is Alive and Well and Living in Sweden" had its West-Coast premiere during The One-Act Festival at San Francisco State University where it won Highsmith and Theatre Arts Playwriting Awards.
