Set in a New York hospital board room on St. Patrick’s Day, “The God Committee” by Mark St. Germain takes us into the inner workings of a transplant program and a decision that is a matter of life and death.
With a new perspective coming from the three-year hiatus and a new group of collaborators, The INK Project MNL is finally poised to stage its pioneer production this February 2023.
The cast includes Timothy Racho (Dr. Jack Klee), Yvonne Gaebrielle Russell (Dr. Ann Ross), Cha Crisostomo (Dr. Kiera Banks), Darren Kennièl (Dr. Alex Gorman), Anna Tan (Nella Larkin, R.N.), Hannah Marasigan (Fr. Charles Dunbar), and Jerome Izon (Dominick Piero).
The production is directed by Kiefer Sison. From the UK, Mischa Velasco collaborates with him as a director.
Joining them in the artistic and production team are Chaguz Oca (Stage Manager), Ayce Gelilio (Assistant Stage Manager), and Meryl Faith (Graphic Designer and Lights Operator). A few cast members are also part of the artistic and production team, Cha Crisostomo (Technical Director), Darren Kennièl (Score Composer), Jerome Izon (Graphic Designer), and Anna Tan (Set Designer).
