Description
The Indiana State University Department of Theater Presents:
AGNES OF GOD
By John Pielmeier
Directed By Arthur Feinsod
March 11-13, 2021 at 7:30 PM | March 14, 2021 at 3:00 PM
Playwright John Pielmeier crafts a story that intersects faith, memory, and meaning of sainthood. Summoned to a convent, Dr. Martha Livingstone, a court-appointed psychiatrist, is charged with assessing the sanity of a novice accused of murdering her newborn. Miriam Ruth, the Mother Superior, determinedly keeps young, novice nun Agnes from the doctor, further arousing Livingstone’s suspicions. Who killed the infant, and who fathered the tiny victim? Livingstone’s questions force all three women to re-examine the meaning of faith and the power of love, leading to a dramatic, compelling climax.
ABOUT THE DIRECTOR
Director Dr. Arthur Feinsod, Professor of Theater at Indiana State University, brings this tale into the new millennium, right in the middle of the pandemic, where no one can be in the same room and where everything must happen on Zoom. Agnes of God is the last play Dr. Feinsod will direct at ISU as he is retiring this semester after over 20 years.
TALKBACK PANEL
After the Saturday, March 13th performance, there will be a talkback panel to discuss the play and the production. Panelists include Sister Paula Damiano (InterFaith Council Vice President and Co-Director of the Providence Spirituality and Conference Center), Dr. Tom Johnson (IFC member and ISU Professor of Psychology), and Dr. Feinsod. The talkback is open to anyone to attend.
