Written by 13-time Emmy Award® winner David Javerbaum (The Daily Show), this exceptionally witty comedy delivers a new meaning to the phrase divine intervention.

God is back. And he’s got a lot to say. Inhabiting the body of beloved DC actor Tom Story (Round House Theatre’s Angels in America, MetroStage’s Fully Committed), and flanked by his ever-faithful archangels, the Supreme Being gifts his mortals with an entirely new set of Ten Commandments in a sinfully funny whirlwind of comedy heaven.

“A gut-busting-funny riff on the never-ending folly of mankind.” – The New York Times

Written by David Javerbaum
