Hand to God Coming to Broadway After an acclaimed and extended run off-Broadway at MCC, Robert Askins 's Hand to God will be produced on Broadway this spring. The play focuses on Jason, who finds "an outlet for his burgeoning creativity at the Christian Puppet Ministry..."

The Broadway bow will feature the MCC cast: Steven Boyer ( Modern Terrorism ) as Jason, and Geneva Carr , Marc Kudisch ( On a Clear Day lab ), Sarah Stiles ( On a Clear Day ) and Michael Oberholtzer in featured roles.
