About bringing God's Ear back to The Vineyard for a mainstage production, Mr. Aibel says, "It's really thrilling for me to welcome Jenny Schwartz and God's Ear to The Vineyard.  Jenny first worked with The Vineyard as an intern in our literary office some years ago, and then we had the honor of collaborating with her on a series of readings and workshops of God's Ear.  We were proud to see the play go on to a production at New Georges last season in a limited engagement - and absolutely delighted that the play will now have the opportunity to return to New York and The Vineyard."
 
The cast of God's Ear includes Gibson Frazier, Judith Greentree, Christina Kirk, Raymond McAnally, Matthew Montelongo, Monique Vukovic, and Rebecca Wisocky.
 
The production features original songs by Michael Friedman, with additional lyrics by Jenny Schwartz.  God's Ear has scenic design by Kris Stone; costume design by Olivera Gajic; lighting design by Tyler Micoleau; sound design by Leah Gelpe.
