The complete creative team for the creationism of An Act of God has been announced. Or something. The new Broadway comedy starring Jim Parsons will have scenic design by Tony winner Scott Pask (The Book of Mormon), costume design by Tony nominee David Zinn (Fun Home), lighting design by Hugh Vanstone (Matilda), sound design by Fitz Patton (It’s Only A Play) and projection design by Peter Nigrini (Here Lies Love). Casting of two angels will be announced later.
The Creator Himself has written the Play, which has been transcribed by Emmy-winning The Daily Show head writer and executive producer David Javerbaum. God (through His press agent) has billed the show as such: “A 90-minute conversation in which I will reveal the mysteries of the Bible and answer some of the greatest existential questions that plague mankind.” In an early statement, He said, “This Play will help clear up the fallacy that I’m old fashioned…and instead reveal the true Me: up-to-date and holier-than-you.”
Directed by Joe Mantello, the stage adaptation of The Last Testament: A Memoir By God, will begin a limited engagement on May 5 with opening night set for May 28. Although the show is playing at the holy locale of Roundabout's Studio 54, it is not a Roundabout production. This is the Word of the Lord.
