Making God Laugh at 3rd Act Theatre Company

3rd Act Theatre Company, a 501(c)3 non-profit theatre company in Oklahoma City presents Making God Laugh, written by Sean Grennan and directed by Don Taylor, as their first Mainstage production of Season 5: MEMORY. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. and the second and third Sundays at 2:30 p.m. from September 8-24, 2023.

Making God Laugh follows one typical American family over the course of thirty years' worth of holidays. Starting in 1980, Ruthie and Bill's grown children -- a priest, an aspiring actress, and a former football star -- all return home, where we learn of their plans and dreams as they embark on their adult lives. The empty-nester parents contend with their own changes, too, as old family rituals are trotted out and ancient tensions flare up. As time passes, the family discovers that, despite what we may have in mind, we often arrive at unexpected destinations.

3rd Act’s production of this family dramedy stars a dynamic cast of local talent including Carol McDonald, Grant Brittan, Ken Chambers, Maddie Wall, and Lucas Schrantz.
