Couldn’t we all use a “do-over”?
Family can push us to our very limits as we grow together, succeed together, and fall flat on our faces together. Such is the case for the Casey family of Saint Dad, Monica Wood’s hilarious new play about finding community, reclaiming your beliefs, and a giant moosehead. Following the sudden reawakening of their comatose father, siblings Denise, Bud, and Suzanne must convince Leona, the new owner of their longtime family camp, to help them hide the sale from their possibly divine “Saint Dad.” When Leona’s rebellious daughter Thomasina and the Caseys’ beloved family friend Chummy join the mix, the dynamic group begins to question what it means to be a family, and who really deserves to be redeemed.
