The Winged Ox Players

Open auditions for this play will be held on Wednesday July,18th and

Thursday July 19th, 6 - 8 pm,  in undercroft at St. Luke's Episcopal Church

God's Favorite is a play about successful Long Island businessman Joe Benjamin;  a modern-day 'Job' with a demanding wife, ungrateful children and wise-cracking household employees.  Just when it seems things couldn't get any worse, he is visited by Sidney Lipton, a.k.a. 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.
