    Travel around the world and explore forgotten myths and unusual legends in eight fast-paced and hilarious tales! Guided by a band of traveling Romani, the audience is transported from the ancient Far East, where a hero must kill a giant centipede to save a dragon king, to the Russian countryside, where a poor orphan must defeat three witches who stole his grandfather’s eyes. Always quirky, and sometimes bizarre, these eight tales are filled with magic, mystery, and morals.

    04/21/2018
    https://theplayfulparent.org/event/newtowne-players-presents-gods-favorite/

    NEWTOWNE PLAYERS TO PRESENT
    NEIL SIMON COMEDY “GOD’S FAVORITE”
    The Newtowne Players will present Neil Simon’s comedy “God’s Favorite,”
    starting Friday, April 6 through Sunday, April 22 at Three Notch Theatre, 21744 South
    Coral Drive, Lexington Park, MD 20653.
    Curtain times are 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, and 3:30 p.m. on Sunday.
    Tickets may be purchased online at www.newtowneplayers.org. Reservations may be
    made by calling 301-737-5447 and leaving a message with your name and phone number,

    “God’s Favorite” is based on the Biblical story of Job, and centers on Joe
    Benjamin, a carboard box magnate who has everything: a flourishing business, loving
    wife, three children, and loyal servants. He attributes all his good fortune to God’s will,
    and lives his life as a generous and devout servant of God. Then one midnight, who
    appears into all this but a near-sighted movie buff named Sidney Lipton, a messenger
    from God who informs Joe that God has named Joe to be His favorite person, which has
    prompted Satan to bet that he can make Joe’s life so miserable that Joe will renounce
    God.
