As It Is In Heaven
by Arlene Hutton

"A moving portrayal of upheaval caused when the utopian existence of an 1830's Shaker community in Kentucky is threatened by the arrival of  ‘newcomers‘ claiming to see angels. Powerful and insightful… a thought-provoking piece, the message being that often we need not look as far as heaven to see angels here on earth.” – Herald “Hutton, who is best known for her charming Last Train to Nibroc, once again looks into a slice of Americana and a time when things seemingly were simpler while showing that even a ‘utopian‘ existence such as the Shakers' was not without complications. Hutton asks some universal questions about the nature of community and belief that are timeless and also prove to be good fodder for storytelling on stage. As It is in Heaven contains a story that deserves to be told."
