BWW Interview: Ira David Wood IV Walks The Edge As Director, Performer And Puppeteer in Theatre In The Park's HAND TO GOD
by Lauren Van Hemert - Apr 30, 2018


Robert Askins' Tony Award nominated play Hand to God is about a puppet ministry in Texas that goes awry when a sock puppet wreaks havoc on the church, the pastor, and the other kids. Billed for mature audiences only, Ira David Wood IV says the irreverent Hand to God is one of those plays that walks the edge but never really crosses the line. Wood not only directs this production, but also steps into the dual role of the troubled teen Jason and his demonic puppet. This is his second time taking on the role of both director and performer, the first of which was Theatre in the Park's 2009 production of Romeo and Juliet, starring his sister, Evan Rachel Wood.

by Robert Diamond - Jan 24, 2018


To celebrate this amazing milestone, we checked in by phone with Michael Crawford, from New Zealand.
