WACO Theater presents the world premiere of Marty and the Hands that Could by award-winning playwright Josh Wilder in collaboration with Watts Village Theatre Company.

Released from prison on the eve of his 25th birthday, Marty returns home to his family, equipped with a handwritten manuscript and big dreams to turn his life around. But his cousin Junior has also come home with problems of his own, setting them on a collision course as they struggle to break free of the curse that has haunted their family for generations. Can Marty put his hands to good use, or is his fate already written? This production will center the need for Black healing from generational traumas.
