"Hand To God is so damned entertaining, literally." - Now Magazine
THE COAL MINE THEATRE PRESENTS:
HAND TO GOD
Written by Robert Askins & Directed by Mitchell Cushman (Assistant Director: Calvin Peterson)
In a quiet Texas town, recently widowed Margery runs the church puppet club. Her grieving teenage son finds solace in his homemade sock puppet, Tyrone. That is until Tyrone goes rogue and hijacks control of Jason. He shocks the congregation with his foul-mouthed insinuations and wild accusations. And by spinning his head around Exorcist-style! A hilarious lesson in humanity, HAND TO GOD tackles all the big themes including life, death...and crafting.
"(A) raunchy, exuberant, satanic, irreverent, hilarious and serious play..." —James Karas
