Summary
Stage director Tad has seen enough actors to fill up Genesis, but he still can't cast his one-man show. Who can he get to play God? A Charleton Heston type? A beard? A great elderly classic actor - but what if? He's having the worst depression since '29 when God interrupts his sulking to declare that SHE has decided on the part. Imagine Tad's reaction when God tells him, "it's only a matter of gender." A witty, charming play with a strong feminist point of view.
