An Act of God

By David Javerbaum

Directed by Phil Johnson

Featuring Sam Ginn, Devyn Wade & Fred Harlow


Witty, irreverent, and unexpectedly profound, An Act of God flips faith, power, and humanity upside down with razor-sharp humor. When God descends to Earth—alongside two long-suffering angels—to set the record straight, sacred truths collide with modern skepticism, politics, and pop culture. What unfolds is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud exploration of belief, free will, and the flawed brilliance of being human, delivered with bold comedy and surprising heart.
