After the recent death of his father, painfully shy and withdrawn Jason finds an outlet for his anxiety through the Christian Puppet Ministry, in his devoutly religious, hometown of Cypress, Texas. Jason’s complicated relationships with the town pastor, the school bully, the first girl who expresses any interest in him, and—most especially—his mother, are thrown into upheaval when Jason’s puppet, Tyrone, reveals a shocking and dangerously irreverent personality all its own.
Nominated for five Tony Awards – including Best Play – this mature-themed comedy explores the startlingly fragile nature of faith, morality, and the ties that bind us, all to hilariously comic effect.
“Black box theater at its dizzying finest."
"Easily one of the most talented casts and enthralling productions I’ve seen in a while."
"Yet another stellar example of why EastLine is the future of theatre on Long Island!"
“A singular show with a generously talented cast.”

EastLine Theatre returns to Westbury Arts this September with Anna in the Tropics. Winner of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the play by Cuban-American playwright Nilo Cruz is set in a Tampa cigar factory in 1929, where cigars are still rolled by hand and 'lectors' are employed to educate and entertain workers.
EastLine Theatre brings Sarah Ruhl's Pulitzer-nominated whimsical romance, In the Next Room, or the vibrator play to Lindenhurst beginning August 13.

EastLine Theatre, in association with Westbury Arts, will present the world premiere of Being Earnest by Long Island queer playwright Danny Higgins this June.

Tickets for the performances are free with a refundable reservation.
EastLine Theatre in association with the Westbury Arts Council will present the world premiere of This Play Was Never About Noses by Long Island playwright Morgan Moffitt this March at the Westbury Arts Council. This new ensemble-driven adaptation of the classic Cyrano de Bergerac will begin performances at the new Westbury performance space in March.
EastLine Theatre in association with the Babylon Citizens Council on the Arts will present Intimate Apparel by Pulitzer Prize-winner Lynn Nottage this February at the BACCA Center in Lindenhurst's downtown. This tender period romance will begin performances just before Valentine's Day.

EastLine Theatre in association with the Babylon Citizens Council on the Arts will present David Bullen's new play based on Greek tragedy, An Oresteia, or What We Have Seen, this November. Commissioned in response to current events, An Oresteia tells the ancient story of the fall of the house of Atreus beginning with the murder of Agamemnon and detailing its repercussions through the generations.
EastLine Theatre will present their rollicking take on Shakespeare's classic romance under the summer sun at locations across Long Island. Romeo & Juliet will feature original live music in a family-friendly production. This is EastLine's first foray into touring after losing their Wantagh home in March of last year.
Had we known sooner about the Eastline Theatre in Wantagh, we would have made multiple trips to see their hilarious production of 'Hand To God' by Robert Askins. The intimate and quaint space recently housed Broadway's Tony Award nominated comedy and the venue appears to be Long Island's best kept secret tucked away on Wantagh Avenue.
EastLine Theater, a 40-seat black-box theater known for staging innovative productions in an intimate setting, is committed to giving back to the community that supports it. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, EastLine Theatre is acutely aware of the critical impact that tax deductible donations make, so it decided it was important to support other organizations that are challenged by their own fundraising efforts.
