“God’s Favorite” by Neil Simon and Directed by Pat Hitt
Synopsis Successful Long Island businessman Joe Benjamin is a modern-day ‘Job’ with a high-maintenance wife, ungrateful children and wise-cracking household help. Just when it seems things couldn’t get any worse, he is visited by Sidney Lipton aka A Messenger from God (and compulsive film buff) with a mission: test Joe’s faith and report back to “the Boss”. The jokes and Tests of Faith fly fast and furious as Neil Simon spins a contemporary morality tale like no other in this hilarious comedy.

Will there be a role for a 16–18 year old boy in God’s Favorite? If so, please provide me with audition information.
Thank you.
Hi Dave,
The youngest characters in this show are in their early 20′s. I’d be happy to audition older teens for those parts. Please come!
