Auditions for "Hand to God"

🎭 Auditions announced: HAND TO GOD

Written by Robert Askins
Directed by Troy Nickerson
Produced by Chris Jensen

Theater on the Verge will hold in-person auditions for HAND TO GOD, a dark comedy about faith, repression, and the ongoing battle between your good puppet and your bad puppet.

🎭 Characters

A note on casting: The teenage characters in HAND TO GOD are high school–aged, but we are seeking adult actors to portray them.

JASON (teen; actor 18+): A socially withdrawn high school student struggling with grief, faith, and adolescence.

JESSICA (teen; actor 18+): A high school girl—sharp, observant, and more emotionally aware than those around her.

TIMOTHY (teen; actor 18+): Pastor Greg’s son. Awkward, angry, volatile, and deeply lonely.

MARGERY (adult; late 30s–40s): Jason’s mother. Recently widowed, devout, anxious, and clinging desperately to structure and faith as her world frays.

PASTOR GREG (adult; late 30s–50s): The church’s pastor. Charismatic, insecure, and ethically compromised. A man whose authority far exceeds his emotional maturity.

👉 No roles are pre-cast. All roles are open.

⚠️ Content warnings

This play includes:
- Strong and pervasive language
- Strong sexual content (both verbal and physical)
- Graphic violence (there will be blood!)
- Blasphemy and irreverent treatment of religion
- Themes of grief, repression, and emotional trauma
If that list makes you nervous, this may not be the show for you.
If it makes you curious…welcome.
