Agnes of God is a play about mystery and miracles. It is the story of a young nun, her Mother Superior, and a psychiatrist. A baby is found strangled in a waste paper basket and the young nun is suspected of murdering her own child. The psychiatrist must decide if she is mentally capable of standing trial. The church, the study of the mind, and immaculate conception are all brought to trial in this emotionally charged and intriguing play.
The show starred Drama Department majors Alanna McLeon as the Mother Superior, Lesley Dowey as the psychiatrist, and newcomer Krista PAige Little as Agnes. It is written by John Pielmeier and was directed by department instructor Darlene Spencer. The show was performed in the newly renovated theatre space STUDIO 180 in Hagey Hall room 180.
