When God Comes For Breakfast, You Don’t Burn The Toast

Crosswalk Productions—One88

The production featured two independent short plays that fit perfectly together. The first half features a waiting room in heaven. As the play unfolds we learn about how each patient got there and why they might be terrified of meeting their maker. The scene offered a look at how we judge each other without any real knowledge of that individual. I saw the end coming a mile away but I still liked it. The dialogue was legitimately funny and I wished in the end that it had been longer.

The second half I enjoyed less but it was still worth a watch. In the second scene we follow a couple as they prepare for a brunch date with god. A few classic misdirections and confusions create some good physical comedy moments in the play. I felt the scene started off strong but quickly lagged. The ending fell flat and was beyond cheesy. While the ending was a little lackluster the script was funny and the actors kept my attention the entire time. Both the husband and wife made lots of funny faces and really committed to the scenes.

All in all a good play with two interesting concepts and a great title.
