In Hand to God, a "true tour de force" (New York Times), Robert Askins has written a play of "unerring perfection" (HuffPost) that garnered an Obie Award and five Tony Award nominations, including Best Play, following its sold out, critically acclaimed off-Broadway runs.

In the rec room at a church in Cypress, Texas, Margery leads her students in a puppet pageant to strengthen their faith in the Bible and evade Satan's hand. But when the young members of the Christian Puppet Ministry put those teachings into practice, one devout young man's puppet takes on a shocking personality that no one could have expected.

In this hilarious black comedy, a foul-mouthed sock puppet named Tyrone soon teaches those around him that the urges that can drive a person to give in to their darkest desires fit like a glove.

Robert Askins's Hand to God opened on Broadway in April 2015, following two critically-acclaimed Off-Broadway runs, where it was names a New York Times Critics' Pick and called "the most entertaining show of 2014." His newest play Permission made its world premiere Off-Broadway in spring 2015 at MCC Theater. He has received two EST/Sloan grants, the Helen Merrill Emerging Playwright Award, and an Arch and Bruce Davis Award for Playwriting. An I-73 and Youngblood alum and graduate of Baylor University, he's currently working on two feature film projects and an original comedy series for HBO.
