What I didn't like
Prepare more throughly for harder questions. If this continues the questions will get more severe given who you are all claiming to be. During my session I heard a question that was answered a little too delicately. If claiming to be God, bite with some answers, cause for me, someone non religious, I still want to see what about God makes him so damn important. Give the audience a sense that God is God for a reason.
Unless the goal is too make God more accessible, in that case frame answers like an intellectual debate so people feel like they’re learning!
My overall impression
The irony and meta-comedy mulling around this experience is astounding and one can’t helped but be intrigued. Whether you enjoy the sheer absurdity of someone claiming to be God and speaking for him, or whether that absurdity lies within the allegory for what religion in a sense ‘is’; other people claiming to know and or be gods/prophets themselves it hits both well. Not sure what Blair truly intended on a spiritual level but that might be what works best, he doesn’t seem to have an opinion.
Religious people can’t get offended because at times the show serves as a more practical look into what church might be in the western world twenty years from now and non-religious won’t get offended because Gods in human form answering human questions with casual millennial rhetoric is validating and comical at the same time.
I commend the other actors for their dedication and powerful character work, I got to see Zachary Johnson-Dunlop and having seen his work all over I can safely say this character suits him perfectly. With little time to stretch the acting muscle, he makes every bit work.
Blair does best to keep God engaging and comfortable. Towards the end I did find myself in awe of the audiences child like demeanor as we listened to closing segments.
Humans are malleable beatiful creatures searching for purpose and answers and although not intended, Blair does a nice job reminding us that ‘we’ provide that for each other, no ‘Gods’
