Third show added to Ed Asner’s show 'God Help Us!'

Tickets are on sale now for the 7:30 p.m. show Friday, July 9.
The Saturday, July 10, and Sunday, July 11, shows are effectively sold out.
TV legend Ed Asner plays a wise, cantankerous and wildly funny deity who confronts two political pundits with a romantic history. “God Help Us!” speaks to audiences of all political persuasions with one essential argument: that we have to listen to each other so that we can all live — and laugh — together.
The show is hosted by the Actors Theatre of Montana and Whitefish Theatre Company,
