Steeple Players present Neil Simon's "God's Favorite"

“God’s Favorite” is Neil Simon’s New York-style take on the Biblical trials of Job; this time in the person of businessman Joe Benjamin. Joe (Scott “Smitty” Smith) is a simple man who is surrounded by the trappings of his success: wife, children, home and money. When he is visited by a messenger from God (Kelly Smith), he is told that all will be lost unless he renounces God.

In addition to the husband and wife team of Smith’s at the top of the bill, the cast features Kris Bates, Merriah Currao, Kelly Stuper, Elizabeth McManus, Lori Holm-Cipollini, and John Zimmerman. The play is being produced by Lisa Belfiore-Davis and directed by Richard McCarty.

Performances....November 10, 11 & 12 at 7 pm in the Peace Café of the First Congregational Church of Southington. There will be a matinee performance at 2 pm on Saturday, November 12th. 

Tickets are $10 each and can be reserved by calling 860-628-6958 or 203-631-0559.

Please note:  Due to subject matter, this play is recommended for ages 14 and up.
