"HAND TO GOD"

HAND TO GOD is set in Cypress, Texas, a small and sleepy town where Margery (Kimberly Jones Clark) struggles to regain equilibrium after the death of her husband leaves her in a pit of grief. Seeking solace in her local Methodist church led by Pastor Greg (Fred Iacovo), Margery and her son Jason (Adam Turck) become part of the church's Christian Puppet Ministry where Jason meets Jessica (Anne Michelle Forbes) and brooding loner Timothy (Adam Valentine)...but they all quickly find that these puppets might be a little more than they can handle when Jasons puppet, Tyrone, starts taking on a devilish life of his own and begins drawing everyone around him into acts of sin. Can the congregation survive the subversions of this foul-mouthed puppet, and if they do, will they ever be the same? Laced with hilariously acidic humor and razor sharp insights into the parts of human nature often considered too dark to reveal, Hand to God delivers the one-two punch of a story that gets you thinking and laughing all in one delightfully profane production. Co-produced by 5th Wall Theatre and TheatreLAB.
