A Case for the Existence of God at Matrix Theatre

In a small office where lives are measured in credit scores, two strangers find themselves returning to the same conversation. Keith, a mortgage broker raising his daughter alone, and Ryan, a yogurt plant worker determined to reclaim a piece of his family's lost land, meet as client and lender. What unfolds instead is an unexpected connection between two fathers navigating uncertainty, responsibility, and the quiet weight of unrealized dreams. With wit, compassion, and emotional precision, this story touches an extraordinary humanity hidden within ordinary lives. What do we owe one another in a world shaped by inequality, and can small acts of trust and kindness become something transformative?

Creating a masterclass in human connection, MacArthur “Genius” Fellow Samuel D. Hunter (The Whale) explores the unique isolation experienced by two people carrying a weight of loneliness and financial insecurity. The highly anticipated A Case for the Existence of God, New York Drama Critics' Circle Award winner for Best Play, makes its Los Angeles debut at Rogue Machine on the Henry Murray Stage at the Matrix Theatre.
