In an effort to scientifically prove the existence of the soul after death, Professor Williston (Brian Murray) has spent more than a decade studying James (Anthony J. Goes*), a young psychic. James achieves his extrasensory ability by channeling Simon, an all-knowing being, offering wisdom from beyond. When Annie (Vanessa Britting*), a recent widow, comes to their home for a reading, events that took place two thousand years ago culminate, achieving reunion, redemption and resolution in the present day. 

“From the beginning, art has given mankind entrance to worlds that religion often appropriates and science struggles to understand and explain,” says Director Myriam Cyr. “Simon Says offers a glimpse at the intersection of these worlds. Ever since I read the first draft, I have been hooked.”

The pursuit of other-worldly knowledge has manifested itself in many forms throughout history, ebbing and flowing in both popularity and as a subject of scientific inquiry. Yet, even as technology expands humanity’s understanding of the universe in practical terms, mysticism remains a timeless subject of fascination and artistic exploration. Beyond the elusive, ambiguous oracles of Greek drama, Victorian salon séances, and modern reality shows such as Long Island Medium, the desire to transcend past, present, and future and connect with all-encompassing wisdom grows, even as science seeks new ways to prove—and more often disprove—its existence.


Directed by Myriam Cyr, the cast includes Drama Desk award winner, three time Tony Award nominee Brian Murray* as Williston, Anthony J. Goes* as James/Simon and Vanessa Britting* as Annie.

The artistic team for Simon Says includes Janie Howland (Set Designer), Paul Ezzy (Video Trailer), John Malinowski (Lighting Designer), Cat Stramer (Costume Designer),  Jay Pension (Producer), and Andy Sanberg (Executive Producer).
