Get your tickets to see Apollo Works in Process Series: The Faith Healer in New York, NY. Happening on Saturday, September 13, 2025 at The Apollo’s Jonelle Procope Theater. Doors open at 2:30 PM.

Our Works in Process series kicks off this season with a reading of The Faith Healer, a new play by The Apollo’s Director of New Works and founder of The Fire This Time Festival, Kelley Girod. The Faith Healer follows a young Black doctor in Louisiana who faces the biggest crisis of his career at the same time that his father dies, while haunted by the ghost and legacy of his father who was a respected traitair, or spiritual healer. This doctor learns what it takes to not just be a medical provider, but a husband, a son, and a friend to those you treat. Join this journey to the remotest parts of Louisiana, where French is still the first language, and sway through a past and a present that tie two generations of healers in a drama that highlights the plight of those who are called to care for others.
