TWIST OF FAITH to Open at Theatre For The New City's Dream Up Festival
The production will run for five performances beginning August 24 in the Johnson Theater at Theater for the New City.
Twist Of Faith, an original comedy-drama with music, will make its debut at Theater for the New City as part of the 2025 Dream Up Festival. The production will run for five performances beginning August 24 in the Johnson Theater at Theater for the New City, 155 First Avenue, New York, NY 10003.
Set over the course of a single Jewish Sabbath, "Twist of Faith" follows the unexpected encounter between two deeply different young men—a meeting that challenges both of their assumptions and forever changes the trajectory of their lives. Infused with humor, live music, and heart, the play explores timeless themes of faith, friendship, and identity. The production features powerful original songs performed live by a roving singer/guitarist, bringing emotional depth and atmosphere to this fast-paced, thought-provoking narrative.
