This week’s theatre recommendation is An Act of God at the Golden Gate Theatre. Emmy winner and Tony nominee Sean Hayes (famous as Jack on Will and Grace) stars as God in a howlingly funny play by Jon Stewart headwriter David Javerbaum,, in a production headed for Broadway in May. We wouldn’t be surprised if Hayes garners a second Tony nomination for this brilliant comic performance. Read a review here. For further information or to purchase tickets, click here.
