Directed by William Pullinsi, the limited engagement continues through June 10. Opening night is set for May 6.

The play stars Peggy Roeder, Craig Spidle, Kevin McKillip, Joe Foust and Erin Noel Grennan.

Making God Laugh, according to press notes, "is a family comedy, following 'empty nest' parents Jimmy (Spidle) and Ruthie (Roeder), as they welcome their children home over various holidays, each ten years apart. Starting at Thanksgiving 1980, the newly 'launched' kids—a priest, an aspiring actress, and a former football player—all return home, and audiences learn of their plans and dreams as they embark on their adult lives. Over the course of thirty years' worth of celebrations, including Christmas 1990, New Year's Eve 2000 and Easter in the present, audiences follow the parents and grown children as they adapt to their new adult relationships. Tensions flare up as unresolved issues, old family traditions and dubious recipes are trotted out."

Other members of the creative team include artistic director William Pullinsi, scenic designer Angie Weber-Miller, lighting designer Geoff Bushor, sound designer Barry G. Funderburg, costume designer Brenda Winstead, wardrobe supervisor Alice Broughton, wig designer Kevin Barthel, props designer Libby Fandrei and stage manager Rebecca Green.
