The roads are closed. Nobody is getting in or out. A group of
strangers, each at a critical turning point in their lives, will test
their faith in their careers, in their relationships, and in
themselves while stranded at a lonely little church on a remote Navajo
reservation. Will they continue along the same path, or will one day
change their course forever?

***

Following an accident at a uranium mine in Northwest New Mexico, two
couples find themselves stranded at a church in the middle of a
desert. They interrupt an argument between Don Tabaha, a young half-
Navajo doctor who is leaving for a job at a wealthy cancer institute
in California, and his priest, Father Doherty, who wants him to stay
on the reservation and help his people. With Don temporarily stranded,
his gut-wrenching decision incites debate and discovery for all the
characters of the play, each struggling to find their own path.
Professor Niles Harris and his wife Vita are traveling to a
psychiatric institute after his dramatic emotional breakdown in front
of his class. Marion Clay is tying up her recently deceased husband’s
assets while traveling with her new boyfriend, Zappy, a young
professional tennis player. Angels Fall is a play about deciding how
you choose to spend the time you have on this earth. After all, you
never know when it might be too late.
