A co-production with Stray Cat Theatre
The angst-ridden youth of Cypress, Texas spend their afternoons practicing Christian Puppet Ministry at the local church. When one of the puppets turns out to have a life of its own, all hell breaks loose. He may look like an innocent sock puppet, but Tyrone shocks the congregation with outrageous insinuations and exposes deep, dark secrets. Described by the New York Times as “darkly delightful,” Hand to God is a fast-paced irreverent comedy about love, grief, and what it means to be human.

Jewish Family & Children’s Services of Southern Arizona (JFCS) is the proud sponsor of a free public showing of Denial starring Rachel Weisz and Tom Wilkinson with the screenplay by David Hare to be held on Tuesday, February 20, 2018 at 7pm at the JCC, 3800 E. River Road,Tucson.
The film Denial recounts the true story of Dr. Deborah Lipstadt, a professor of Holocaust Studies at Emory University in Atlanta who was sued for libel in a British court by the infamous Holocaust denier, David Irving. After a riveting 10-week trial that attracted worldwide attention, the judge ruled in favor of Dr. Lipstadt, and found Irving to be a racist, falsifier of history, and anti-Semite. The London Times, in referring to this case, wrote “history has had its day in court and scored a crushing victory.”
