God's Favorite
by Neil Simon
September 30, October 1, 7, & 8

Neil Simon transports the Book of Job from the Old Testament to a mansion on Long Island, and then creates the modern version with Joe Benjamin, his wife, a prodigal son and a set of bizarre twins. The serious questions of faith confronting our modern-day Job still rise to the top, this time amid the antics created by the leading American comic playwright.

"God's Favorite" was the final acting project for senior Theatre Education major, Bryan Grosbach from Gladstone, Mo. Rounding out the cast were Joel Grosbach, soph., Enders, Neb.; Jessica Foulke, soph., Lawrence, Kan.; Akiesha Kauffman, jr., Moundridge, Kan.; Dan Hudachek, jr., Stillwater, Minn.; Jessica Arnold, fr., LaCygne, Colo.; Jamie Elliot, fr., Kremmling, Colo., and Seth Schoming, jr., Davenport, Neb.

Designers working on "God's Favorite" included Travis Walker, soph., Coffeyville, Kan., (set); Seth Schoming, (lights); Amanda Smith, sr., Hutchinson, Kan.; and Alex Tyler, soph., McPherson, (props). The show was directed by Dr. Rick Tyler, professor of speech and theatre, and stage managed by Brandt Busse, sr., McPherson.
