If to live is to suffer, then Joseph Douaihy (Fontana) is more alive than most. With unexplained chronic pain and the fate of his reeling family on his shoulders, Joseph's health, sanity, and insurance premium are on the line. In an age when modern medicine has a cure for just about everything, Sons of the Prophet is a refreshingly honest take on how we cope with wounds that just won't heal, and the funniest play about human suffering you're likely to see. Hear what the cast and creative team have to say about this new production below!
The first preview date for Off-Broadway's SONS OF THE PROPHET will be Wednesday, September 28th at 7:30PM, at the Laura Pels Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre. 200 tickets available for only $10 for new September 28 & 29 performances.
