Producer Jeffrey Finn and Center Theatre Group announced Hayes will play God in a limited six-week engagement at the CTG/Ahmanson Theatre Jan. 30-March 13, 2016.
The casting of God’s Angels will be announced soon.
An Act of God is billed as "written by God" and "transcribed by" 13-time Emmy Award winner Javerbaum. Tony winner Joe Mantello will again direct.
The 90-minute comedy, according to press notes, concerns "the Almighty and His devoted Angels [who] answer some of the deepest questions that have plagued mankind since Creation. He’s finally arrived to set the record straight … and He’s not holding back!"
