Summary: The night after their grandfather’s funeral, three cousins engage in a verbal (and sometimes physical) battle. In one corner is Daphna, a “Real Jew” who is volatile, self assured, and unbending. In the other is her equally stubborn cousin Liam, a secular and entitled young man, who has his shiksa girlfriend, Melody, in tow. Stuck in the middle is Liam’s brother Jonah, who tries to stay out of the fray. When Liam stakes claim to their grandfather’s Chai necklace, a vicious and hilarious brawl over family, faith, and legacy ensues.

Created by Rich Potter.

In the beginning, God said, “Let there be light,” but first! … join His Greatness, moments before The Big Bang! In this hilarious interactive comedy, Rich Potter asks the biggest question of all: if God was around before Creation, what was he doing? Counting the hairs in His beard? Twiddling His cosmic thumbs? Driving around in a golf cart, wishing there was something to do?

This “irreverent romp… whose most impressive miracle is the ability to dissolve an entire audience into laughter…” [DC Metro Theater Arts] aims to amuse open-minded believers and open-minded non-believers alike.

Greenbelt resident, Rich Potter is a producer of Washington DC’s Clown Cabaret. He co-wrote and performed in Shakespearean send up, “ Delusions of Grandeur” (2012) and silent film noir comedy, “The Heist” (2014).

Three years as a RBBB Circus clown, a coach at Center Ring Circus School, dozens of years doing variety/comedy/juggling acts at festivals and corporate settings in dozens of countries, the Vice Presidential Mansion, and an appearance on “The Late Show with David Letterman” have led him here. Now he thinks he’s God.

Ticket prices: $20 General Admission, $16 Students/Seniors/Military, $12 Youth (12 and under with adult). Buy Tickets here.
