Overview

Synopsis

Bob, a feral orphan child raised by racoons, is at the center of Kevin Kling’s Lloyd’s Prayer. Somewhere in the middle of the United States, Bob is discovered by semi-reformed con man Lloyd and becomes part of his newest scam: a religious revival show. As Lloyd props him up as a poor feral child in need of salvation, Bob comes to learn what it means to be human-for better or worse. Community theatres and college theatre programs looking for lesser-known plays with minimal set requirements may find this quirky ensemble comedy a good fit for their season.
