Katonah Classic Stage Presents NY Drama Critics Circle Best Play Winner: A CASE FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD with James A Pierce III and Tim Walker Anderson

Katonah Classic Stage (KCS), Westchester County’s professional theatre company dedicated to classic plays, will present Samuel D. Hunter’s extraordinary play, A Case for the Existence of God, at Whippoorwill Hall in Armonk. The play will run October 24 – November 3, 2024. Tickets/Info: Reserved Seats on sale now at https://katonahclassicstage.com/events/

A Case for the Existence of God is a transcendent work of empathy and catharsis by MacArthur Fellow Samuel D. Hunter, best known for his Oscar-nominated film The Whale. With unique humor and honesty, the play brings together the lives of two ordinary men, Ryan and Keith, who, for different reasons, are outsiders to the systems that control their fate. 

After meeting at their daughters’ daycare, the men form an unlikely friendship, navigating fatherhood, loneliness, and the confounding terms of a mortgage loan. A thoughtful and meditative two-hander, Hunter’s extraordinary play is both intimate and expansive as it explores themes of parenthood, financial insecurity, and isolation. When it premiered in 2022, The New York Times, called it “A must-see heartbreaker of a play.”
