One family. Three kids. Thirty years. That’s the basic setup for Sean Grennan’s Making God Laugh. Each scene captures a holiday at the suburban home of Ruthie and Bill as they welcome home their children, each now very different adults (if in name only). There’s aspiring actress Maddie, former football star-turned-wannabe-Renaissance-man Richard, and priest Thomas. Over the course of three decades, each member of the family changes in ways both big and small. Ideal for community theatres and small performance spaces, Making God Laugh captures the zeitgeist of its specific decades with a character-driven story that’s equal parts sitcom and domestic drama.
