] The ironic testimony from the Iraqi Feminist
(Towanda Underdue)

Rounding out the cast is the thoroughly engaging
Towanda Underdue
who plays a wide variety of roles, including a Republican henchman of Roy Cohn's, a sympathetic nurse, a supercilious real estate agent, a schizophrenic homeless woman, and the titular angel who brings with her prophesy and wonder.
