Hudson Stage Company Presents SALVATION, 9/29-10/13

Hudson Stage Company is thrilled to announce the world premiere of James McLindon's bitingly delicious black comedy, SALVATION, opening the weekend of October 30th and running weekends through November 13th.

Blue-collar Irish Catholic and Boston-bred Jack took to heart his second grade nun's teaching that no matter how evil a life he led, he could still go to heaven provided he made a perfect deathbed confession. Will the summoned priest, Fr. Gallagher, be able to offer heavenly salvation as he encounters the most bizarre confession of his career?
