Presented by Pullover Productions and STYPTIC Group
In association with Robert Hinish / Bannam Place Theatre

This December, at North Beach's Bannam Place Theatre, Pullover
Productions and STYPTIC Group present The Foreskin of Christ: A
Musical, an engaging musical about cloning, politics and religion.
San Francisco's most daring creators of new theatre offer a thrilling
view into the future - and what may happen if religion, greed,
biotechnology and lust all fall into the hands of one man, the
President of the United States.

The year is 2044, and President Augie Victor Douglas is driven by his
power-hungry mother, Laura, to gain tight control of the White
House. When the Catholic Church files for bankruptcy and sells its
relics on eBay, the Chief Executive Pontiff of the corporation,
Vatico, decides to keep his most prized item, the DNA of Jesus,
embedded in the foreskin of Christ. As Augie, Laura and the Pontiff
navigate their fates, an unexpected event pulls them toward an
unavoidable collision.
