Robert Askins’ Hand to God is heading to the Great White Way! Directed by Moritz von Stuelpnagel, the new play ran at MCC Theater off-Broadway earlier this year and Steven Boyer, three-time Tony nominee Marc Kudisch and all the cast will all be reprising their roles at Broadway's Booth Theatre. Previews will begin on March 12, 2015, with opening night set for April 7.
In Hand to God, the good children of Cypress, Texas, are taught to obey the Bible in order to evade Satan’s hand. But when students at the Christian Puppet Ministry put those teachings into practice, one devout young man’s puppet takes on a shocking personality that no one could have expected.
Boyer (The Wolf of Wall Street) will play Jason/Tyrone with Kudisch (9 to 5: The Musical) as Pastor Greg, Geneva Carr, in her Broadway debut, as Margery, Sarah Stiles (On a Clear Day You Can See Forever) as Jessica and Michael Oberholtzer, in his Broadway debut, as Timmy.
Hand to God will feature scenic design by Beowulf Boritt, costumes by Sydney Maresca, lighting by Jason Lyons, sound by Jill BC Du Boff, puppet design by Marte Johanne Ekhougen and fight direction by Robert Westley.
