Checking in with a single family over the course of three decades’ worth of holidays, this play explores how siblings grow up, grow apart and simultaneously manage to engender both pride and disappointment in their parents. Making God Laugh tells the story of Ruthie, Bill and their three fully grown kids—a priest, an aspiring actress and a smooth-talking entrepreneur. Over the course of the production, everyone in the family comes to realize that in life, one doesn’t always end up at the intended destination. The play runs through Dec. 23.
