With Theatre 29 charging full steam ahead toward the holiday opening of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” December 1st, the thespians are offering a little treat November 4 & 5.
Theatre 29 will be hosting at staged reading performance of Neil Simon’s classic comedy “God’s Favorite” the weekend of November 4 & 5.
A fundraiser for Theatre 29, the story is a modern riff on the Biblical story of Job as successful Long Island businessman Joe Benjamin has it all: wealth, a lovely home, a demanding wife, ungrateful children and wise-cracking household employees. In comes Sidney Lipton, a.k.a. A Messenger from God (and compulsive film buff) with a mission: test Joe’s faith and report back to “the Boss”.
The jokes and tests of faith fly fast and furious as Neil Simon spins a contemporary morality tale like no other in this hilarious comedy.
Tickets are available now at theatre29.org/tickets for two performances Saturday November 4 at 7pm and Sunday November 5 at 2:30pm.
