The Father, The Son & The Holy Sh!t is a one-man show about Shadley's true life experience of getting to know is father for the first time at age 34. Growing up, he never knew his father even though they lived in the same town. They met briefly when Shadley was 18 and then crossed paths again 12 years later when they ended up standing next to each in the bathroom at a holiday party, though Shadley's father didn't recognize him. In 2005, a letter of forgiveness would finally open the door that had been locked shut for some many years and Shadley was finally invited into his father’s life, only to be confronted by a series of experiences that taught him that going after what you want does not mean you have to settle for less than you need. Clearly, family is the reason God invented booze.

"(T)ruly dazzling in its head-shaking, jaw-dropping truth. ... Grei has pulled off an inspiring play that gives all of us kids who were ignored, bullied or hurt in any way, a big, fat understanding hug. You’re left with an unlikely sense of belonging, and a powerful belief in one of the truest statements of the play: 'Fiction needs nuance, reality just wants to fuck with you.'" - Paula Tiberius, author & filmmaker (For full review, click HERE)
"Genuine, Real, Brave, Funny and wow what a unique story." - Helena Cosentino, actress
