2016-2017 Season

Hand to God

June 13, 2016

[slideshow_deploy id=’6163′]

Described as “Sesame Street meets The Exorcist” by the New Yorker, HAND TO GOD tells the story of an awkward Texas teen named Jason, who spends his afternoons at his local church, practicing for the Christian Puppet Ministry run by his widowed mother. All hell literally breaks loose, however, when Jason’s puppet Tyrone takes on a shocking and dangerously irreverent personality all its own.   Nominated for five Tony Awards including Best Play, HAND TO GOD explores the startlingly fragile nature of faith, morality, and the ties that bind.

WARNING: Contains adult language and situations. Not for kids.

RUN TIME: Approx. 1 hours and 55 minutes with one intermission.
