HAND TO GOD Possesses Basement Arts this December

Author Robert Askins said that "Hand to God is an expression about honesty."

Shortly after the death of her husband, Margery has been given a unique opportunity to teach a puppet ministry course at her Church by the Pastor (who wants "something more" in exchange). Her son, Jason, is her star pupil. He forms a very special bond with his puppet, Tyrone. Other students include our macho-bully, Timothy, and our intelligent, earth-loving wallflower, Jessica. Jason's complicated relationships with the town pastor, the school bully, the girl next door, and-most especially-his mom are thrown into upheaval when Jason's puppet, Tyrone, starts calling the shots.
