God just can’t get enough of Sean Hayes, and vice versa. After starring in the upcoming Los Angeles engagement of An Act of God early next year, the Emmy winner (Hayes, not God) will bring the show to San Francisco. Performances will begin at the SHN Golden Gate Theatre beginning March 29, 2016.
The show, written by God (naturally) and David Javerbaum, follows the titular divine entity as He walks audiences through some updates and clarifications to the well-known Ten Commandments. Tony winner Joe Mantello returns to direct, after helming the Broadway production that starred Jim Parsons.
Hayes won an Emmy in 2000 for his performance as Jack McFarland on the NBC sitcom Will & Grace and earned additional nods for the role for the following six years. His other small screen credits include Sean Saves the World, Smash and The Millers. He received a Tony nomination in 2010 for his Broadway debut in Promises, Promises and is attached to star in a new play based on the life of Oscar Levant.
Casting for the roles of God’s angels Michael and Gabriel in both California stints will be announced later.
