About This Show

The God-fearing children of Cypress, Texas spend their after-school hours practicing Christian Puppet Ministry at the local church. When one devout young boy discovers that his hand puppet has a life of its own, all hell breaks loose. Literally. In this hilarious and lightning-paced comedy, Tyrone, a stinging and witty satanic sock puppet soon shows the children, minister, and school bully who’s really in charge. Declared “flat-out hilarious” by The New York Times; Hand to God by Robert Askins and directed by Dexter Bullard makes its Chicago premiere after thrilling audiences on Broadway and receiving a Tony nomination for Best New Play last season.
