Is God Is sees twin sisters undertake a bloodthirsty journey to kill their father at the request of their mother. Covered in burns, the sisters travel from the East to the Dirty South to the California desert, all the while seeking payback for unspeakable horrors.

Is God Is is the winner of the 2016 Relentless Award, established in honor of the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, as well as a finalist for the 2017–18 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. The production is the winner of four Obie Awards, including Best Play and Best Director.

Harris' newest play, What to Send Up When it Goes Down, will debut at A.R.T./New York Theatres with direction by Whitney White (Macbeth in Stride) Off-Broadway this fall.
