8thdaywhisper productions announces a revival of Halley Feiffer’s critically acclaimed dark comedy,  I'M GONNA PRAY FOR YOU SO HARD, about an emotionally fueled collision of family, ambition, and the brutal business of making art. Brought into the ruthless world of New York Theatre, we are introduced to a fiercely ambitious daughter named Ella and her father, a renowned playwright named David. When Ella anxiously awaits the reviews of her Off-Broadway debut, an evening of celebration with her critical father quickly spirals into a volatile reckoning with approval, power, and legacy. Underneath the quick-fire humor and emotionally explosive father-daughter dynamic, it brings awareness to something we all face: the desire to be loved, seen, and to know we are enough.
