Directed by BLAKE ROBISON

Believe in miracles. Adapted from the bestselling novel, A Prayer for Owen Meany is a sweeping saga of friendship, destiny and the miracle of faith. Set against the backdrop of societal upheaval in America during the 1960s, this heartwarming and often amusing story recounts the unbreakable bond between Owen and John, who remain forever linked by a tragic childhood accident. The aftermath propels John into a lifelong journey of questions regarding his own spiritual beliefs. At the same time, Owen surfaces with the unwavering conviction that he is an instrument of God. After capturing the imagination of generations of readers, Owen Meany has become an extraordinary and unforgettable theatrical event.

"Staged with epic flair ... Owen Meany soars." — The Washington Post

 

ADVISORY: A Prayer for Owen Meany is appropriate for adult and older teenage audiences. While a powerful story of friendship and faith, the play also contains very strong adult language and mature themes.

RUNNING TIME: The show runs approximately 2 hours and 27 minutes, including one intermission.
