Synopsis: In this play, Michael Majeski boards a plane for Valparaiso, Indiana on a routine business trip, but somehow winds up in Valparaiso, Chile! As coverage of this human interest news byte compounds, Michael is catapulted into celebrity status. He is interviewed endlessly by the media but there are problems with his story – what is Michael really hiding? All is finally revealed during the climactic daytime talk show in which Michael, at the mercy of the TV host Delfina, is caught in the light rays of the TV screen.
