In an open letter, Director Danielle Guy addresses some of the legitimate concerns we faced when considering this piece, and the steps taken to address them.
Spring 2020: Hand To God, a play by Robert Askins, directed by Ruben Vellekoop. After the death of his father, meek Jason finds an outlet for his anxiety at the Christian Puppet Ministry, in the devoutly religious, relatively quiet small town of Cypress, Texas. Jason’s complicated relationships with the town pastor, the school bully, the girl next door, and—most especially—his mother are thrown into upheaval when Jason’s puppet, Tyrone, takes on a shocking and dangerously irreverent personality all its own.
