"Heaven Can Wait," Westmoreland Players

By Harry Segall

A comedy directed by Glenn and Joy Evans

Two successful screen versions, the first in 1943 (titled Here Comes Mr. Jordon) and the Warren Beatty (as a football star) remake in ’78, have made this a familiar title. A delightful fantasy of Joe, a boxer just on the brink of winning it all, who is accidentally brought up to the Pearly Gates decades before his time. Separated from his body by a novice angel, our hero goes in search of an ideal replacement. He finds one in the person of Farnsworth, a wealthy banking tycoon. In the process of trying to reclaim his boxing title, Joe discovers the love of his life, two villainous foes and a multitude of comical challenges.
