GOD HELP US!

STARRING ED ASNER

Sunday April 7, 2019 @3PM

SICK OF POLITICS? Maybe the Lord can bring us together in this hilarious new play starring Ed Asner as a wise and wisecracking God. Conservatives vs liberals. Red vs blue. Sometimes it seems like we’ll never find common ground! Whatever your political beliefs, you’ll find lots to laugh about in this new comedy. And no matter where you fall on the political spectrum, God Help Us seeks to remind us that listening is key if we want to live together and laugh together.

God Help Us stars TV veteran extraordinaire Ed Asner as a wise and wisecracking God. Talk about typecasting! Asner is a seven-time Emmy award-winner known for roles like Lou Grant in The Mary Tyler Moore Show and its spinoff Lou Grant, Santa Claus in Elf , and the voice of Carl in the animated feature film, Up. Equally adept at comedy as he is at drama, he is one of the most outstanding and most respected actors of his generation.

Thank God Ed Asner is still tickling our ribs!

Asner will be joined onstage by Connecticut actors Karen Robinson and Anthony DePoto portraying the characters Randi and Larry. Randi presents the conservative viewpoint while Larry leans liberal. In addition, Kayla Murphy and Jay Wallace are featured as God’s heavenly angels. God Help Us is written by Samuel Warren Joseph and Phil Proctor, produced by Liza Asner, and directed by Mitch Levine. This performance will be the Connecticut premiere.
