An acclaimed, contemporary play about an unlikely friendship between two single fathers who, despite their differences, find a connection through their shared life struggles.
A Case for the Existence of God
The five-star-rated performance A Case for the Existence of God is back in the theater due to its great success! Erik Whien directs this acclaimed and contemporary play, in which we witness an unlikely friendship develop between two single fathers. Two men who at first glance have nothing in common, except that they are being grandly taken for a ride by life. One struggles with financial problems, the other with complicated adoption procedures for his daughter. The setbacks are the basis for a connection in which something great, or perhaps divine, is hidden. A Case for the Existence of God is a heart-wrenching plea for hope, even when all seems lost.
