The Great and Powerless

The Great Wellington Washington III has come to town, selling the townspeople the most simple items at outrageous prices. Everyone in town is swept up in the fervor, except Sondra. Knowing her daughter needs help, her mother decides to buy her Wellington's most valuable item: an imaginary friend. Against her wishes, Sondra is given the empty jar, only to have a charming young man meet her the next day. She soon finds herself falling in love...until the young man disappears. When a crazy engineer in town says he built a bridge to the planet Mercury, Wellington sees his chance to cash in. As tickets go on sale to the other world, Sondra decides to follow her heart, and step onto the bridge... The Great and Powerless is a hilarious romp through the world of conformity, tying together two worlds where people feel misplaced. Just when you think you're alone in this world, you might find your home. A unique and lovable play in one act.
