God's Favorite
July 18 - August 24, 2024
by Neil Simon
Directed by Van Rockwell
Successful Long Island businessman Joe Benjamin is a modern-day "Job"; with a demanding wife,
ungrateful children and wise-cracking household employees. He credits all he has to his love for
God. Then he is visited by Sidney Lipton, a.k.a. A Messenger from God with a mission: test Joe's
faith and report back to "the Boss". He informs Joe that God and Satan have made a wager that no
amount of suffering would ever lead Joe Benjamin to renounce his faith. The jokes and Tests of
Faith fly fast and furious as Neil Simon spins a contemporary morality tale like no other in this
hilarious comedy. A light-hearted and yet very poignant modern story of a man who has everything
and loses it all before finding what is truly important. Hilarious fun!
