About the Play

A New Comedy of Spiritual Neglect.

Audrey is a high-strung New Jersey housewife who, in a fit of real-estate-induced mania, buries a statue of Saint Joseph upside down to trigger a house sale. To her mounting horror, the ritual actually works: a very real, very confused Yosef crawls out of the mulch, smelling of cedar and first-century dust.

As Audrey attempts to hide the Holy Carpenter in her garage, her lackluster husband, Larry, accidentally trips into the lawn-portal and tumbles back to ancient Nazareth. There, he encounters a teenage Yeshua who is significantly more snarky than the stained-glass windows suggested.

What follows is a frantic, absurdist cultural exchange across a rift in the crabgrass. While the two families grapple with the terrifying reality of actual miracles, they are forced to confront the fact that faith is messy, marriage is hard, and God probably doesn't care about their curb appeal.

About the Series

The Media Arts Council (MAC) Play Reading Series was created by playwrights Julie Zaffarano, Dave Ebersole, and Keenya Jackson, in partnership with the MAC to create a space for local playwrights to hear their work read by talented actors and receive feedback from a public audience. The only regular new play reading series in the area, it brings exciting new stories to Delaware County.

Playwrights, actors, and directors who are interested in being involved in the series should contact Dave Ebersole, Keenya Jackson, or Julie Zaffarano at macplayreadingseries20@gmail.com. Due to the limited budget for this project, we are unable to offer actors or directors a stipend through the MAC.
