HOUSTON, TX—4th Wall Theatre opens its eighth season with the play that the NY Times recently named one of the 25 most important American plays written since ANGELS IN AMERICA: JESUS HOPPED THE ‘A’ TRAIN by Pulitzer Prize winner Stephen Adly Guirgis. JESUS HOPPED THE ‘A’ TRAIN arrives at 4th Wall Theatre Company on the heels of the Signature Theatre revival unanimously raved by critics with multiple sold out extensions. “Riveting, hilarious, heartbreaking –great art burrowing deeper the higher it flies.” The NY Times. “--A vital, pulsating drama.” The Hollywood Reporter.
Winner of the 2018 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Revival, JESUS HOPPED THE ‘A’ TRAIN tells the story of Angel Cruz, a bike messenger from New York City who is awaiting trial in Rikers Island prison for shooting the leader of a religious cult in the “ass”. He is on his knees, alone and terrified, trying to say a prayer he no longer remembers to a God he has all but forgotten. Angel’s court appointed attorney, Mary Hanrahan, is lucky if she can keep her client’s names straight. His guards are indifferent. Worse, Angel is subject to repeated inmate brutality, landing him in protective custody, where he finds himself in the company of a charismatic serial killer named Lucius Jenkins, a born-again believer who will change the course of Angel’s life forever.
