Hand to God at Studio Theatre

Hand to God

Studio Theatre
1501 14th St. NW Washington

In a church basement in a small Texas town, the teens of Christian puppetry Ministry gather to bring the Word to the Flock. But one puppet takes on a foul-mouthed, demonic life of its own—unleashing the community’s barely repressed lust and rage. Like nothing you've seen before, this blasphemous Broadway hit is a ruthless comedy about sex, sinners, and sock puppets.

"...“Hand to God,” born a few years ago in a production at off-Broadway’s tiny Ensemble Studio Theatre, eventually made an unlikely climb to Broadway, where it closed earlier this year after garnering a handful of Tony nominations and running for an impressive 311 performances. The play, directed craftily here by Joanie Schultz, has the potential to be commensurately successful for Studio — possibly approaching the magnitude of its biggest all-time hit, “Bad Jews,” a scalding comedy so popular the company brought it back twice."

"...Robert Askins' Hand to God is hilarious when we concentrate on puppet Tyrone and his doings. He lives life large. Ah, but the human who Tyrone interacts with are just lonely even in the throes of sexual encounters. They are everyday people wanting to connect in some fashion with another human being. They just seem unable to without taking risks that will lead them away from their Church's teachings. Over the course of Hand to God, the humans show themselves able to be resilient. Well, most of them."

"...It’s hard to believe that there could be two foul mouth puppet shows in existence but there absolutely can be. This show is completely immersive and will leave you insanely entertained. It will also make you consider the darkest parts of yourself, those parts of yourself that you may want to attribute to someone— or something—else. This show will call those thoughts by your own name."

"...This wildly inventive show isn't for everyone- it most emphatically is not for children, for example. And a good many folks with firmly entrenched views on family values might find it downright offensive. But despite its foul language and comedic scenes, at its heart, Hand To God asks some deep questions: if there's no God to save us, is it possible for us to save ourselves?"
