Theatre Guild presents "The God Committee"

"The God Committee," a play written by Mark St. Germain and directed by Gene Davis, will be performed April 18, 19, 20, 25 and 27 and May 1-4 in the Carriage House Theatre at Trail End State Historic Site, Sheridan. Show times at 7:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are available at the Wyo Theater box office in downtown Sheridan or on-line at http://www.wyotheater.com/. This is a Civic Theatre Guild production.

Here's a description of the show:

In this drama, medicine, money and morality clash when the Heart Transplant Selection Committee of St. Patrick's Hospital has only minutes to decide which of three patients will receive a heart that has suddenly become available. Short and fast-moving with the twists and turns of a fine mystery novel, the play takes audiences into the inner workings of a transplant program, treats timely concerns with both humor and humanity, and will leave audiences laughing while it tests their critical thinking on death. The God Committee was written in 2006; this is the first time it has been performed in the Rocky Mountain region.

Cast: Anne Quick as Ann Ross, Bruce Andrews as Jack Klee, Stu Healy as Father Duncan, Julie Olson as Nella Larkin, Lisa McClintock as Kiera Banks, Scott Bateman as Alex Gorman and Matt Davis as Dominic Piero.
