Production Files documenting the 2002 premiere of Heather McDonald's An Almost Holy Picture at the American Airlines Theatre. Directed by Michael Mayer, with set design by Mark Wendland, costume design by Michael Krass, lighting design by Kevin Adams, sound design by Scott Myers and Robert Kaplowitz, and original music and design by Mitch Greenhill.

The one-man production starred Kevin Bacon as Samuel Gentle, with John Dossett as his understudy.

The production does not appear to have been nominated for any awards.
Kevin Bacon plays a former priest-turned-church caretaker in this prose/poetry one-man show; he is a man haunted by an accident involving drowned children in his past career, and struggling Job-like with his faith in the present due to a rare disease that afflicts his young daughter.  

The play had its world premiere at La Jolla Playhouse in 1996; this production marked both its New York and Broadway premieres.
Production Files encompass one Hollinger box containing 14 folders, two Stagebills, some marketing flyers, two versions of the cast/family photo, and two CDs with La Jolla sound cue audio files.
