The God Committee - ENSEMBLE THEATRE

The God Committee.

7 medical experts, 3 patients, 1 heart... 1 hour to make a life or death decision.

In the United States over 70,000 people wait to receive a new heart each year but only 10,000 are available. How does a donor heart get assigned and who makes the decision? This is the job of the God Committee; a group of medical professionals whose difficult task it is to determine who gets a second chance at life. One St. Patrick's Day, a heart is en route to St. Patrick's Memorial Hospital and seven people have less than an hour to decide which of three prospective patients should receive it. Can they be objective, or will their personal opinions interfere with their medical decisions? In a thrilling race against the clock, this real time performance will keep you on the edge of your seat, making you question what your own decision would be.
