It’s Opening Night on Broadway – and playwright Peter Austin, his career on the line, anxiously awaits reviews at a private party.

Having been presented at Lincoln Center, this musical explores the fires burning beneath the surface of a marriage.

A powerful thriller based on a true story that aired on NPR’s This American Life, it follows renowned journalist David Holthouse’s secret pursuit of justice for a crime hidden for 25 years — and explores the dangers of vengeance, the power of forgiveness, the strength of family — and the bogeymen that lurk inside us all.
“COMMENDABLE AND THRILLING! A brave exploration of a subject that is taboo!”- The New Yorker

[h2]HAND TO GOD[/h2]
[h3]by Robert Askins[/h3]
[h4]October 1 – 30, 2016[/h4]
In a devoutly religious town in Texas, a shy student finds an outlet for his burgeoning creativity at the local Christian Puppet Ministry. All seems fine until his once soft-spoken hand-puppet takes on a shocking and dangerously irreverent personality all its own. As the puppet Tyrone’s influence over Jason grows, the play explores – in an incredibly comic fashion – the fragile nature of faith, morality and the ties that bind us.
“TERRIFIC! As disturbing as it is uproarious!” – The New York Times
