"An Act of God" is built on a simple idea, what if God, the all-seeing, all-knowing, all-powerful, decided to take an evening off to discuss it all, the sensible and the silly, with the audience.

It's a different sort of show, a 90-minute tsunami of one liners, that takes the human race to task.

You might think this would be dancing toward blasphemy, but David Javerbaum's one-act play is fast, funny, thoughtful and deals more with the nonsense of the human animal then that of the divine.

This show is so incredibly well constructed that you find yourself drawn into the living room of the divine only to be set up for one of the great capers in comic history.
