About the Project
Michael-Shaun Hennessey’s true story begins with a simple question: “Are you my daddy?”
A true story of search, surprise and discovery.
What if the person you’ve spent decades searching for…isn’t who you think they are?
Join award-winning performer, Michael-Shaun Hennessey in this captivating one-man show about his decades-long search for his father - a journey filled with false leads, near misses, and an absolutely mind blowing twist that will leave you speechless.
For over three decades, Michael-Shaun searched for his father, a truck driver named Robert Hennessey, following every possible clue. He changed his own last name to Hennessey, called every Robert in the phone book, and even created viral videos in hopes of finding the Father he had never met.
Join Michael-Shaun as he takes you on his journey through childhood doorbell dashes, (“Are you my daddy?”), curious coincidences in leather bars, mailbox stakeouts and DNA disappointments - all leading to a Father’s Day revelation that will upend everything you thought you knew about his search.
This extraordinary true story demonstrates that our most heartfelt requests can lead to remarkable destinations we’ve never imagined. It’s all about the power of persistence, the beauty of coincidence, and the family connections that might be hiding right under our noses - possibly even just a mile from where Michael-Shaun grew up.
Prepare to laugh, cry and gasp in disbelief as Michael-Shaun’s quest unfolds with incredible synchronicities that seem too perfect to be real. An 11:11 connection? A phone number coincidence? School classmates, who turn out to be more than just friends? This show has it all!
Featuring uncanny coincidences, near-misses, and a conclusion so perfect it seems scripted by fate itself, this show reminds us all to remain open to life’s unexpected possibilities and to let fate work it’s magic.
Don’t miss this emotional roller coaster that culminates in a revelation that will renew your faith in life’s surprising possibilities.
