Hand to God: Theatre Production
After the death of his father, meek Jason finds an outlet for his anxiety at the Christian Puppet Ministry, in the devoutly religious, relatively quiet small town of Cypress, Texas. Jason’s complicated relationships with the town pastor, the school bully, the girl next door, and – most especially – his mother are thrown into upheaval when Jason’s puppet, Tyrone, takes on a shocking and dangerously irreverent personality all its own. Hand to God explores the startlingly fragile nature of faith, morality, and the ties that bind us.

In a time when we may all feel disconnected or fractured, the 2025–2026 Catawba College Wind Ensemble Concert Series, Finding Belongingness, offers a space to reconnect with ourselves, with each other, and with the world around us.
Featuring a mixture of contemporary and classic works for concert band, the series will explore many layers of what it means to belong.

Each concert presents a curated angle, inviting audiences to reflect, celebrate, and find belongingness through music.
