Williamston Theatre Presents A CASE FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD In February

Mid-Michigan's award-winning professional theatre company, Williamston Theatre, located at 122 S. Putnam Street in downtown Williamston, is starting off 2025 with the Michigan Premiere of A Case for the Existence of God by Samuel D. Hunter. Performances for this production begin Thursday, February 6 and run through Sunday, March 16. Tickets are now on sale.

Inside an Idaho office cubicle, yogurt-plant worker Ryan and mortgage broker Keith couldn't be more different. They unexpectedly discover one thing they have in common – they are single fathers of toddler daughters. Ryan, white and divorced, wants to buy a plot of land that his family once owned, with dreams of making a stable life for his daughter. Keith, Black and gay, is dealing with challenges to his hopes of adopting his foster daughter. With humor, empathy, and deep compassion, playwright Samuel D. Hunter intertwines these two lives in a story about fatherhood, family, and friendship. Contains mature language.
