and thou shalt be healed
This new play will be presented as a reading. Readings are an essential part of the play development process. We are proud to offer this as part of our On The Radar (OTR) New Works Program that aims to support the creation of diverse new stories by emerging U.S. playwrights. Click here to learn more about OTR. ABOUT THE SHOW: Siblings Mary and Johnny were raised in the same Christian cult. Now in their 40s, the still religious Mary is having a crisis of faith and is in need of a miracle. Her now secular brother offers a controversial solution. When reunited on a remote mountain in New Mexico, surrounded by energy vortexes, rumors of aliens, and a golden eyelash palm pit viper named Daisy, they wonder: Did they ever know the same God? FROM THE PLAYWRIGHT: I wrote this play at a time when I–and so many around me–were asking questions about our relationship to faith and spirituality. The play is an attempt to explore the balance between our search for answers and certainty with an acceptance/embrace of mystery, the inexplicable, the ineffable. For those who have seen my work at Chance Theater, you’ve now seen an older play of mine ( at the very bottom of a body of water ), a more recent play of mine ( Alma ), and now you’ll get to see one of my newest works with and thou shalt be healed .
