“Incisive, provocative play…intimate and involving, thanks to a first-rate cast.” - Time Out New York Critics’ Pick
“The cast, under Douglas Hall’s direction, is uniformly strong…savvy and often sharply comic”- Talkin’ Broadway
Renee Calarco writes “with verve” - The New York Times
ABOUT THE PLAY
Mo and Brian are a picture-perfect DC couple: they’re smart, they’re witty, and they have a beautifully remodeled kitchen. But when Mo’s best friend Patti announces she’s found Jesus and is putting her own career on hold, Mo must take a closer look at the harder truths surrounding her own marriage. A comedy about relationships, faith, and the fine line between compromise and regret.
“The Religion Thing” was nominated for a Helen Hayes/Charles MacArthur Award for Best New Play in 2013.
