CANCELLED: God's Favorite, by The Woodford Theatre

By Neil Simon
Apr 5th - Apr 21st

"Awesomely funny...The work of a man of vision. It'll make you laugh out loud."-New York Daily News. "His jokes have a kind of hilarious deadpan ecstasy and, even better, are taken from life."-The New York Times. In this clever and witty show, ripe with Simon's famous snappy dialogue, successful Long Island businessman Joe Benjamin is a modern-day 'Job.' He has a demanding wife, ungrateful children and wise-cracking household employees. Just when it seems things… Show more couldn't get any worse, he is visited by Sidney Lipton, a.k.a. a Messenger from God (and compulsive film buff). Sidney is there on a mission: he is to test Joe's faith and report the results back to "the Boss." The dialogue, jokes and tests of faith fly fast and furious as Simon spins a hysterical morality tale like no other.

Rated: PG
