A Shiva for Joseph: Day Two
Written by Brandon Urrutia | Directed by Charisma Jolly
Joseph is dead. His family is unraveling. And his 18-year-old son Joshua is in the next room, grappling with the fact that he is quite literally God incarnate. As relatives crowd into a Brooklyn apartment to mourn, they begin to question Joshua’s divinity. Some see him as a miracle, while others see him as a threat. And Joshua himself? He just wants his father back.
Blending biblical allegory with kitchen-sink realism, this second part in a seven-daytheatrical cycle is a bold journey through grief, belief, and the unbearable weight of being chosen—asking, what does faith mean when even God is grieving?
