by Jared Hecht, Class of 2015
directed by John Jenkins​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

After a traumatic head injury, Sarah Hermes may be the world’s next messiah. Her father, a pastor, couldn’t be more proud. Eli, her slacker brother who works at a video store, watches her fall into a stardom he’s always desired. As Sarah gains notoriety, Eli must overcome his lack of ambition. Will he expose Sarah for who she truly is, or will divine intervention chart the course?
