About God’s Cowboy

Set against the charged backdrop of rehearsal rooms and private encounters, the play examines what happens when longing collides with belief, masculinity, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive. Darkly funny and quietly devastating, God’s Cowboy moves between moments of intimacy and confrontation, revealing the fragile cost of denial — and the courage it takes to be seen.
 
Written by Les Solomon, this compelling new work is brought to life by a standout cast in a tightly staged production that has already drawn critical praise for its emotional depth and performances.
