The play “God Help Us” was originally written as a vehicle for Ed Asner, but the legendary actor passed away before he could bring the show to Cedar Rapids’ Rich Heritage Theatre. Stepping in is Gregory Harrison, of TV’s “Trapper John, M.D.” and “General Hospital,” who was a close friend of Asner’s.
The play takes the form of a debate, acerbically moderated by God, between political pundits from opposite ends of the political spectrum, who are also ex-romantic partners. Their job? Convince God not to flush the human race and start over.
Jun 3-5 in the Fine Arts Center at Kennedy High School. Tickets at www.rhcrtheatre.com.
