In this witty and touching play, a psychotherapist named Ella, single mother of an autistic child, gets a visit from a new and desperate patient: God. The late Anat Gov was known as Israel’s Wendy Wasserstein, and in her gently veiled analogy, Ella and God must learn to help each other—after all, God is suffering from having accrued too much power, while Ella has lost whatever faith (in God) she might have had. As both battle low-grade depression, the fate of the world may just hang in the balance! With a clash of biblical quotes framed by a modern-day wit, Gov brings a funny, often brilliant text that forces us to confront our own issues of faith, hubris, and the overwhelming power of humility.

Jewish Theatre of Oklahoma’s mission is to explore the rich social, cultural and spiritual heritage of the Jewish People through theater-going experiences.  We seek to illuminate our cultural heritage through exploring Jewish themes and giving voice to Jewish playwrights and ideas. Through performances and discussion, we hope to strengthen our Jewish community and its ties to the broader multicultural community.  In some small way, through entertainment and education, we can help to stem the rising tide of anti-Semitism.  Learn more at Jewishtheatreok.org
