"Director Oanh Nguyen's staging is top-notch, as are his performers... [Wayne] Lemon skillfully merges dozens of minute details to form a seriocomic mosaic." "Wildly inappropriate and keenly idiomatic... Detailed direction, an impressive design, and a wonderful cast!" "Oanh Nguyen's staging of the play's West Coast premiere emphasizes the interrelationships of the six characters, letting the laughs fall where they may." "Under [director Oanh Nguyen's] superb insight, the bawdy humor is so hysterical you'll split your sides laughing; while you're cringing inside in recognition of what's happening." "With Jesus Hates Me, Chance co-founder Nguyen adds another notch on his belt of directorial triumphs, molding his cast’s three-dimensional performances and working with his design team to create a visually striking production."

January 30 - March 1, 2009
Irreverent, thought-provoking dark comedy by veteran television writer Wayne Lemon (“Grace Under Fire,” “The Torkelsons”). Somewhere in South Central Texas is the “Blood of the Lamb” Miniature Golf Course. Ethan, an ex-high school football star, is desperate to find identity, sanity, faith and freedom under the gaze of a Wal-Mart mannequin transformed into Jesus on the cross at the 17th hole. Follow Ethan on an insightful, unpredictable and hilarious week as he tries to escape from his religious fanatic mother, a suicidal dishwasher, a pot-smoking cop, a beer-swillin’ good ol’ boy, possibly the love of his life, and of course the J-man himself. This play contains graphic language, some bare flesh
and a mannequin that resembles the J-Man himself!
