Tom and Penny's Yard Party Rob Lauer

Full-Length Play Journey back to the late 1960s on the television set of Tom and Penny's Yard Party: an evangelical show for children on WJIK-TV (Where Jesus Is King). Tom and Penny are a young married couple who broadcast their wholesome "Jesus loves you!" message to living rooms across the country. As the stress of off-camera station politics and the reality of their troubled marriage come to a head, Tom and Penny's world begins to unravel and we see a far less polished side to our Bible-thumping hosts. When Penny reads a fan letter from the mother of an odd young boy in the studio audience, everything falls apart- live and on air. Tune in! This dark comedy of errors is sure to make you a true believer. (Cast: 2F, 4M, 2Boys, 2Girls)
