The Renal Support Network is producing a play called Who Lives? to open in Los Angeles at the Pico Playhouse on March 12, 2009 for World Kidney Day. The play will run from March 12 - 29, 2009. This production will serve as a platform for discussion, education and outreach on the importance of prevention of chronic kidney disease, the miracle of dialysis and organ donation awareness.

In the early 1960s, an anonymous committee of ordinary citizens in Seattle debated over which kidney disease victims to choose for an experiment with something new: a kidney dialysis machine. If the experiment worked, a small number of people would live instead of surely die from kidney failure. But who among the selection pool lives? How will the committee choose? Based on that premise and creating his own committee, playwright Christopher Meeks centers the action on one person, attorney Gabriel Hornstein, who desperately needs what the committee offers.

In a review of the play in Los Angeles, the LA Weekly wrote, “Christopher Meeks takes this factual scenario and transforms it into a thought-provoking drama, which relates a timely story about both ethics and morals.... Meeks’ script is smartly written.”

Good news from Lori Hartwell: Some tickets have been donated for patients that don't have funds, so if there are any patients you know that want to go have them contact Jodie@rsnhope.org or call the office and we will try to accommodate a show they can go to.   

I imagine it's on a first come, first served basis, so if you are in the Southern California area and would like to attend - get in touch with the Renal Support Network - the website is RSNHope.org.

I'm going to the premier. My Mom was going to come out to Seattle for a break form Chicago winter but I told her Seattle isn't as much fun in February as it is in May. So she is coming out here in May. But she still wanted a break so I suggested LA and that we could go to a premier of a play. She thought it was a great idea.

We're flying in on Thursday, World Kidney Day, going to the Play that night, I got a room through Priceline for Thursday and Friday night which gives us all day Friday to be tourists. She wants to see Hearst Castle.

I love Hearst Castle, when I was younger (many moons ago) my fiance' and I went to Hearst Castle and had a room that night at the Madonna Inn, the hotel that is built into the mountains and there are no two rooms alike, it was beautiful. Hearst Castle has 3 different tours and they are all worth it. Enjoy!! :yahoo;
