[1][2] Sons of the Prophet opened Off-Broadway at the Laura Pels Theatre on October 20, 2011 (after previews from September 28) and closed on January 1, 2012.

[1][3] The play was directed by Peter DuBois and starred Charles Socarides (Timothy), Yusef Bulos (Bill), Lizbeth MacKay (Mrs. McAndrew), Dee Nelson (Dr. Manor), Jonathan Louis Dent (Vin), Santino Fontana (Joseph), Chris Perfetti (Charles) and Joanna Gleason (Gloria).

That accident was caused by a prank by the local football star, Vin, who is sent to a juvenile detention center as punishment.

Gloria tries to convince Joseph to write a book about his family, thinking this will return her to success in the publishing world.

Written with insight and compassion, not to mention biting wit, it shines a clarifying light into some of life’s darker passages, exploring how people endure the unendurable, and not only survive but also move forward through their blighted lives with sustaining measures of hope, love and good humor.
