Dave Miceli, Scott McGowan & Janet Sales in The Great God Money

In THE GREAT GOD MONEY, Dot is an ordinary person who believes that more money would solve all of her problems. One day, after a series of seemingly coincidental disasters, she finds herself on a Wizard of Oz-like journey through the bizarre and colorful Land of Money. Along the way, she meets many unusual characters who offer mostly conflicting advice about how to find the Great God Money.

As Dot’s adventure progresses, she comes across the Land of Extreme Gender Roles, Comfortville, and the Hall of History, where she learns the origin of today’s money system in a nutshell: livestock, shells, coins, paper money.

The original production’s reviews called the show “crisp, smart, and amusing,” and its issues are now more relevant than ever. [Show history]
