Coyote Dreams:  A VERY Arizona Christmas

It's Christmas time in Minnesota, only natives Carl and Lena Johnson have more o their minds than the uual holiday fare.  Carl's been offered a dream promotion, and he can't wait to make the big step.  The only problem is, the "big step" includes packing up and moving to Gilbert, Arizona, something which wife Lena is less than keen to do.

     And so it begins for the 3rd annual production of Alexx Stuart's hit holiday-season play, Coyote Dreams: A VERY Arizona Christmas.  Parodying popular songs of the season, we follw the Johnsons throught a two week tour of the Grand canyon state as they try to decide whether they want to make their lives about the snow and the cold or the heat and the desert.

     Carl first takes Lena to see his parents at a retirement community in Sun City, on the way singing "Over the Desert and Through the Wash."  (Now you understand the direction this show is taking.)  They now run into all the archetypes of Arizona characters: the tough Harley Davidson biker ... who's now an accountant; the streetwise city hooker ... who just happens to have a thing for Phoenix's most notorious sheriff; the burly, dusty old-west cowboy ... who's been up Brokeback Mountain once too often; and the savage, native american of the plains ...who now owns a very profitable Indian casino.  To the beleaguered Carl, nothing is as it's supposed to be.

      At dinner on thier final night in town, while men shriek at crazed waitresses coming at their ties with scissors, Lena tries to make sense of the situation.  For her, it boils down to either the comfort and security of the old ways or the excitement and adventure of the unknown.
