    The play was shown at the Adobe Theater in Albuquerque in 2006. The Los Alamos Little Theater performed the play in March and it was shown at the Texas/New Mexico Hospice Organization annual meeting that same month.

    Today, state officials are expressing disappointment that the company that built the first mass-produced, all-electric car will keep its factory in California.
