The Jewish Theatre of Bloomington is please to present “Oh God” written by Anat Gov, directed by Dale McFadden. Ella is a psychotherapist and the single mother of a son with severe autism. She also has a fraught relationship with God. Imagine her surprise, her fear, and even anger when God comes to her as a patient who insists that she help him solve his millenia-long problems in one session! A funny, witty play that asks some questions about the nature of the Deity and our relationship to him.

Oh God runs October 24 – November 3 at the Ivy Tech Waldron Auditorium. More information and tickets can be found at jewishtheatrebloomington.com
