City Theatre | Pittsburgh, PA
City Theatre digs into its production archives and solicits feedback from audience members to curate a decade-by-decade retrospective of its most-remembered plays. Patrons will have the opportunity to revisit and experience a staged reading of a script (and artists) from each organizational era. The first reading of the season will be Hand to God by Robert Askins.
Produced at City Theatre in the 2016/2017 season, Hand to God was an audience favorite!
In a church basement in a little town in Texas, something evil is afoot. Or, well — at hand. The youth group has a monster in its ranks: a rogue puppet named Tyrone. He’s hijacked the hand of timid teen Jason and there’s nothing his classmates, his mother, or the pastor can do to exorcise this foul-mouthed demon. Hand to God is a thrill ride of a comedy about good and evil, sex and sin, faith, and the filthy mind of one twisted sock puppet.
Hand to God is rated R for rude, raunchy, and riotously funny content. You’ve been warned.
