The God Committee, a play by Mark St. Germain
The God Committee, written by Mark St. Germain, will be directed by Gretchen Grasl, and will feature Tekolya Brown, Jessica Goforth, Peter Frassl, Cheryl Mercy, Nick Padiak, Rhys Read, and Manny Schenk.
Medicine, Money and Morality clash when the Heart Transplant Selection Committee of St. Patrick's Hospital have only minutes to decide which of three patients will receive a heart that has suddenly become available and is being couriered frantically through heavy downtown New York traffic on its way to the hospital. The committee four physicians with diverse and opposing viewpoints, a registered nurse with justified concerns, a Catholic priest who is also a lawyer, and a disabled social worker whose humor is a form of emotional self-defense must determine the most qualified recipient of a heart transplant. With several desperate candidates near death and only a single donor heart, time is running out. A cross between Twelve Angry Men and E.R., The God Committee, transports the audience through the rising stress and tension of the debate, as medical professionals clash over this crucial decision.
