Hey Joe, What Do You Know

    A lot of religious pieces try to give their audiences all the answers - this little monologue does just the opposite. Like most of us when it comes to faith, it asks more questions than it answers, which makes for compelling, actable theater that is sure to connect with and challenge its audience.

    Raises a lot of excellent questions about one of most overlooked figures from the Bible -- Joseph the father of Jesus Christ. Yeah, this guy deserves better from us! He should go right up there with Abraham and Moses. Bob's questioning makes a powerful argument why this figure is an unsung hero, a special guy that deserves his own song. Definitely a tested figure who proved to be brave and who changed the course of history. This figure is definitely the stuff of drama. A great addition to church services (definitely!) around the holiday season.
