Jim Parsons leads the cast of David Javerbaum's new play, *An Act of God*, directed by Joe Mantello, at Studio 54.

The complete creative team has been announced for the new Broadway comedy An Act of God, starring Emmy winner Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory). Two-time Tony Award winner Joe Mantello directs the production at Studio 54, where it will begin performances on May 5 before opening on May 28.

Described as, "written by God [and] transcribed by 13-time Emmy Award winner David Javerbaum," An Act of God follows the Almighty and His angels as they answer some of the deepest questions that have plagued mankind since creation.

The new comedy will have scenic design by Scott Pask (The Book of Mormon), costume design by David Zinn (Fun Home), lighting design by Hugh Vanstone (Matilda The Musical), sound design by Fitz Patton (It's Only a Play), and projection design by Peter Nigrini (Here Lies Love).

An Act of God is inspired by the best-selling book The Last Testament: A Memoir by God as well as by Javerbaum's Twitter feed The Tweet of God.
