Our Father, Who Art in Studio 54: An Act of God, Starring Jim Parsons, Opens on Broadway

Praise be! An Act of God opens officially at Broadway’s Studio 54 on May 28. The show stars Emmy winner Jim Parsons as the titular deity. The comedy was written by God (sure) and has been transcribed by David Javerbaum, who also collaborated with the Holy Father on The Last Testament: A Memoir. Joe Mantello directs.

To celebrate the sacred occasion, Broadway.com resident artist Justin “Squigs” Robertson” penned this sketch of the Great White Way’s holy trinity. Move over, Sistine Chapel. Front and center is the Almighty Himself (as portrayed by Parsons), as well as Tim Kazurinsky and Christopher Fitzgerald as His angels Gabriel and Michael.

Happy opening to the cast of An Act of God! Sending you all the Praise Hands emoji.


About the Artist: With a desire to celebrate the magic of live theater and those who create it, and with a deep reverence for such touchstones as the work of Al Hirschfeld and the wall at Sardi’s, Squigs is happy and grateful to be among those carrying on the traditions where theater and caricature meet. He was born and raised in Oregon, lived in Los Angeles for quite a long time and now calls New York City his home.
