What happens when we die? What are God's plans "after" Earth? Who hired these guys? Come find the answers to these and other mysteries. You don't want to miss the five times in a lifetime opportunity to hear from the pre-eminent Columbus superstar that you've probably never heard of...yet. And the Gator will be there too.

From the producers of the wildly successful Cow Tipping and other Love Stories from January 2010 and the winners of Theatre 24x7 in September 2010, comes Speed and Energy: An Evening in the Mind of Greg McGill. The evening features a collection of plays by playwright Greg McGill that range from thought provoking to touching to just plain stupid. And as always with OGP, Chaos is Guaranteed.

Featured shows:

An Evening In The Mind....

Greg McGill on.....Greg McGill

As Greg McGill prepares for an evening inside his mind, here, he reflects on each of his plays:

Serendipity or You're Fired/If You Get Laid (Off) Work At Home/The Strange Story...: Satirizing unfunny morning radio idiots who think they're funny is really...funny. To me. And you too. You just might not want to admit it.

Last True Believer: Forget that guy that keeps predicting the rapture. This is what's really going on!

Or: Forget about that guy who told you a few seconds ago to forget about the guy who keeps predicting the rapture. This is what's really really going on.

OGP co-founder Stephen Woosley on the evening with Greg McGill: This evening of shows is a good example of what OGP is about. We get to feature the work of one playwright, and a local one at that, and give them a showcase beyond 10 minutes. And I feel like the night is hilarious, thought provoking and touching, which is the kind of range and variety we want in OGP shows and shows the range of Greg's ability. And as always, Chaos is Guaranteed.
