AN ACT OF GOD Playwright David Javerbaum Hosts 'Godly Conversation' Tonight in L.A.

By:

Playwright David Javerbaum is holding "Godly Conversations," post-show Q&A sessions with audience members, after select performances of his hit Broadway play AN ACT OF GOD at the Center Theatre Group / Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles.

The "Godly Conversations" will continue after the 8 p.m. performance tonight, February 25.

Emmy winner Sean Hayes plays God in this limited six-week engagement which continues through March 13. In addition to Sean Hayes, the cast includes David Josefsberg (as Michael) and James Gleason (as Gabriel).

AN ACT OF GOD was written by God, transcribed by David Javerbaum (based their acclaimed book "The Last Testament: A Memoir by God") and directed by two-time Tony Award winner Joe Mantello. The play premiered on Broadway on May 7, 2015, and ran in an acclaimed, limited run through August 2. It was the first Broadway production of the 2015- 2016 season to recoup its initial investment.

David Javerbaum is a 13-time Emmy-winning former head writer and executive producer of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart." He is the co-author of that show's bestsellers "America: The Book" and "Earth: The Book," and the sole author of "What to Expect When You're Expected: A Fetus's Guide to the First Three Trimesters." His Twitter account @TheTweetOfGod had over two million followers. He is also a Tony-nominated lyricist whose collaborations with songwriter Adam Schlesinger include the Broadway musical "Cry-Baby," the Grammy-winning songs for Stephen Colbert's Christmas special "The Greatest Gift of All" and Neil Patrick Harris' opening number for the 2011 Tony Awards, "Broadway Is Not Just for Gays Anymore." He created the talk show "No, You Shut Up!" with Henson Studios for Fusion. He most recently served as a producer of "The Late Late Show with James Corden."

After conquering Broadway, the King of the Universe has arrived in Los Angeles for the first time ever! God takes the form of Emmy Award winner Sean Hayes in "An Act of God," the sinfully funny and critically acclaimed new play where God and His devoted angels answer some of the deepest questions that have plagued mankind since Creation... in just 90 minutes! Hailed as "Funny as Hell" by the Hollywood Reporter, He's finally arrived to set the record straight... and He's not holding back.

AN ACT OF GOD features scenic design by Tony Award winner Scott Pask ("The Book of Mormon"), costume design by Tony Award nominee David Zinn ("Fun Home"), lighting design by Tony Award winner Hugh Vanstone ("Matilda"), sound design by Drama Desk Award winner Fitz Patton ("It's Only A Play") and projection design by Drama Desk Award winner Peter Nigrini ("Here Lies Love").

AN ACT OF GOD is produced by Jeffrey Finn, the Shubert Organization, Carl Moellenberg, Roy Putrino, Adam Zotovich, Arielle Tepper Madover, Stacey Mindich, Grove Entertainment, Bob Boyett, Richard Winkler, FG Productions, Marco Gomez, Jay & Cindy Gutterman, Jamie Kaye-Phillips, Corinne Hayoun and Denver Center For The Performing Arts. 101 Productions, Ltd. serve as Executive Producers. The show will be entirely subsidized by angels.
