Local AEA Auditions | A Case for the Existence of God
PTC Announces Local AEA Auditions for A Case for the Existence of God
A Case for the Existence of God
by Samuel D. Hunter
Directed by Timothy Douglas
March 5 – 28, 2025 (Rehearsals)
March 28 – April 12, 2025 (Performances)
In the confined space of an office cubicle, Keith, a mortgage broker, and Ryan, a yogurt plant worker with aspirations tied to ancestral land, discover an unexpected shared thread weaving through their lives. Amidst discussions of loans and financial uncertainties, their conversation delves deeper, touching upon the challenges of parenthood and the angst of insecurity. Through a blend of humor, empathy, and raw honesty, Hunter skillfully intertwines Keith and Ryan’s stories, bridging the gap between their individual life experiences and shedding light on the complexities of human existence.
“the purest example yet of Hunter’s approach to playwriting as an experiment in empathy.” — The New York Times
