The Vorbit Incident

Written by Missoula playwright Jay Kettering, “The Vorbit Incident” is a full-length, dark comedy about what happens inside a man’s head when his job is literally waiting for the end of the world.
The world premiere of this quirky comedy is set deep within a missile silo near Great Falls. Most days, rookie missileer Lieutenant Snick Vorbit, 341st Strategic Wing, USAF, doesn’t have much to do at his job that isn’t routine. Today, however, turns out to be anything but ... He must decide whether to follow orders and launch his flight of 10 nuclear missiles or trust the advice of his spiritual mentor, who may or may not be a hallucination. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, he looks to the sky for answers.
The play is presented in conjunction with the Montana Playwright Network 2019 Premiere Project.
