The Vicar, or, Hesitancy

4 characters, two women, two men. Approx. 30 minutes. The sacristy of a church, just before a Friday evening mass in the summer. Projected attendance: 7 (and that includes the four characters). The play opens with Vicar Christoph, a young Lutheran pastor in training, thoughtfully staring off into space, with panties and a bra draped on his head. The church sacrisitan, Maude, discovers him so arranged. Soon, it becomes clear that the Vicar is embroiled with Julie, a member of the church. Maude and Pastor Swanson try to give Julie and Chris the space they need to work out their relationship, but eventually can't help poking their noses in. Very funny, very irreverent, this is a love letter to the organized church, and to love.
