AN ACT OF GOD Playwright David Javerbaum to Host 'Godly Conversations' in L.A.

Playwright David Javerbaum is holding "Godly Conversations," post-show Q&A sessions with audience members, after select performances of his hit Broadway play AN ACT OF GOD at the Center Theatre Group / Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles.

The "Godly Conversations" will take place after the 6:30 p.m. performance on Sunday, February 21 and the 8 p.m. performance on Thursday February 25.

Emmy winner Sean Hayes plays God in this limited six-week engagement which continues through March 13. In addition to Sean Hayes, the cast includes David Josefsberg (as Michael) and James Gleason (as Gabriel).

AN ACT OF GOD was written by God, transcribed by David Javerbaum (based their acclaimed book "The Last Testament: A Memoir by God") and directed by two-time Tony Award winner Joe Mantello. The play premiered on Broadway on May 7, 2015, and ran in an acclaimed, limited run through August 2. It was the first Broadway production of the 2015- 2016 season to recoup its initial investment.

David Javerbaum is a 13-time Emmy-winning former head writer and executive producer of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart." He is the co-author of that show's bestsellers "America: The Book" and "Earth: The Book," and the sole author of "What to Expect When You're Expected: A Fetus's Guide to the First Three Trimesters." His Twitter account @TheTweetOfGod had over two million followers. He is also a Tony-nominated lyricist whose collaborations with songwriter Adam Schlesinger include the Broadway musical "Cry-Baby," the Grammy-winning songs for Stephen Colbert's Christmas special "The Greatest Gift of All" and Neil Patrick Harris' opening number for the 2011 Tony Awards, "Broadway Is Not Just for Gays Anymore." He created the talk show "No, You Shut Up!" with Henson Studios for Fusion. He most recently served as a producer of "The Late Late Show with James Corden."

God takes the form of Emmy Award winner Sean Hayes in "An Act of God," the sinfully funny and critically acclaimed new play where God and His devoted angels answer some of the deepest questions that have plagued mankind since Creation... in just 90 minutes! Hailed as "Funny as Hell" by the Hollywood Reporter, He's finally arrived to set the record straight... and He's not holding back.
