Hand to God 

by Robert Askins

October 18-20, 25-27, 2024

in the Jesse H. and Mary Gibbs Jones Theater

Robert Askins’ ‘Hand to God’ is a darkly hilarious comedy that delves into the chaotic world of adolescence, religion, and the supernatural. Set in a devout Texas town, the play follows troubled teen Jason as he grapples with his inner demons, embodied by a foul-mouthed hand puppet. What ensues is a sidesplitting battle between good and evil that will leave you in stitches. Brace yourself for a wild ride of irreverent humor and thought-provoking moments in this unforgettable theatrical experience.

“Furiously funny…Askins’ most impressive talent is his ability to make us laugh while juggling those big themes that make life so terrifying: death, depression, alcoholism, sexual guilt, emotional repression, religious hypocrisy and the eternal battle between your good puppet and your bad puppet.” —Variety.

Cautions: Adult themes, sexual content, language, and violence; we highly suggest 16+
