The tale of Orderville, Utah\u20141875-1885\u2014where over 700 Saints lived and worked and played and prayed together in the United Order, a version of the Law of Consecration, seeking Zion, learning tolerance and patience, expanding \u201clove\u201d towards \u201ccharity.\u201d\u00a0 We see our own foibles and failings in those of the residents of Orderville as they learn the hard lessons of sharing, giving, getting along, and wondering how can I love my neighbor even when I can\u2019t even stand him and after all I work harder than he does and my skilled work is worth more than his lowly weed-pulling.\u00a0 And oh, it\u2019s about romantic love too, discovering that people are more important than things and that most important of all is how we treat one another. The play reaches a universal dimension as it shows man, whose feet are forever bound to mortal soil, but whose hands continue to reach for \u2013 and sometimes touch \u2013 a star.<\/p>\n

A rollicking and incredible musical score<\/strong><\/em> will take your actors and audiences on a great emotional journey. The literate and exciting script will tug at the heart strings and lift the corners of the mouths of all who experience it.<\/p>\n
