God Help Us!
Ed Asner, the lovable curmudgeon journalist from Lou Grant and The Mary Tyler Moore Show, stars as a wisecracking deity in a timely political satire by Samuel Warren Joseph and Phil Proctor. The shows also feature appearances from local activists Tom Kastle and Jan Levine Thal, and proceeds benefit The Progressive magazine, an essential publication in these fractious and confusing times. Evening shows sold out, but tickets are available for an added 3 pm matinee on Friday.
press release: Starring Ed Asner as God
Written by Samuel Warren Joseph & Phil Proctor; Directed by Mitch Levine
With the local talents of Tom Kastle and Jan Levine Thal
A political comedy for our times. Maybe only the Lord can bring us together in this hilarious and insightful play where the debate gets hot and the passion gets hotter. God – TV legend Ed Asner – is a wise, cantankerous, and wildly funny deity who confronts two political pundits who have a romantic history, and He is not at all pleased with their politics – or what we’ve done with his Creation.
God Help Us! speaks to audiences of all political persuasions with one essential argument: that we have to listen to each other so that we can all live – and laugh – together.
God Help Us! will be performed on the Drury Stage.
Approximate run-time: 90 mins
Two nights only! December 12 & 13
