The Roustabouts Theatre Company presents its upcoming production of “Hand to God”directed by Artistic Director/Founder Phil Johnson.A darkly comedic and outrageously entertaining play that will leave audiences laughing, gasping, and questioning their own beliefs.

“Hand to God,”written by Robert Askins, has taken the theatrical world by storm with its unique blend of comedy and provocative themes. Set in a small, conservative town, the play follows the story of Jason, a quiet young man, and his puppet, Tyrone, who seems to have a mind of its own. As the puppet takes on a life of its own, chaos ensues, leading to a hilarious and thought-provoking exploration of faith, morality, and the human psyche.
Playwright Robert Askinswas born in Cypress, Texas. His Tony-nominated, Obie Award-winning play “Hand to God” finished its run on London’s West End (Olivier-nominated for Best New Comedy) after it opened on Broadway in April 2015, following two critically-acclaimed runs at Ensemble Studio Theatre and MCC Theater, where it was named a NYTimes Critics’ Pick and called “the most entertaining show of 2014.”
