Written by David Javerbaum (based on his book The Last Testament: A Memoir by God and his popular Twitter feed), An Act of God made its Broadway debut with Jim Parsons as God and returned to Broadway in 2016 starring Sean Hayes. The New York Times called An Act of God "a gut-busting-funny riff on the never-ending folly of mankind's attempts to fathom God's wishes...It's an hour and a half of comedy heaven and I'd gladly watch it annually."
