Sons of the Prophet

New Conservatory Theatre Center
25 Van Ness Avenue San Francisco

If to live is to suffer, than Joseph Douaihy is more alive than most. The marathon champion has chronic pain. His boss is overbearing. His father and uncle are ailing. His brother is a handful. His health, sanity and insurance premium are on the line, and that's just an average day. Sons of the Prophet, Stephen Karam's Pulitzer Prize finalist, is a comic and poignant exploration of our secret needs, the surprising people that fulfill them and the unspoken moments of renewal that can happen at any time. In an age when modern medicine has a cure for just about everything, Sons of the Prophet is the funniest play about human suffering you're likely to see. Catch the critically acclaimed show's regional premiere at San Francisco's New Conservatory Theatre Center.
