Kristen Johnston, two-time Emmy Award winner for her performance in Third Rock from the Sun will perform the role of Lily in So Help Me God, a fabulous dramatic diva who must fend off a challenge from her ambitious but naïve understudy. Maurine Dallas Watkins's play was written 20 years before All About Eve. So Help Me God! will be directed by Martin Platt.
