What’s your fantasy? Ana knows that everybody has one—her especially, and she’d do anything to make it come true. And when she meets Jonah, a sweet and caring student at her boarding school, everything she’s ever wanted is finally falling into place. Except Jonah, like everything else in this moving world premiere play from Rachel Bonds, is not all that he seems. A singularly haunting and heart-racing coming-of-age tale that will keep you guessing until its final twisting moments, Jonah is about the true cost of survival, and the lengths some will travel to feel just a little less alone in the world. Danya Taymor directs.

Jonah

Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre

The biblical account of Jonah is retold with a fun look at faith in this amusing new musical.  The reluctant prophet’s foolish attempts to outrun God lead to hilarious misadventures.  But amidst the mirth and mayhem is a whale of a lesson pointing to God’s redemptive grace—and timely reminders for today.
