Agnes of God

By John Pielmeier
 
A nun is accused of murdering her newborn baby. A psychiatrist appointed by the court must determine if Sister Agnes is insane or not. But, as the Mother Superior of the convent points out, Agnes is not the typical person, or even the typical nun. She seems almost incredibly naive, and perhaps she really is a holy innocent, close to God in a way more appropriate to the Middle Ages than today. Or is she merely insane? The psychiatrist, a lapsed Catholic with grievances against the church, is determined to probe deep to find out, while the Mother Superior, in desperate need of a focus for her shaky faith, is equally determined that Sister Agnes' simple piety will not be destroyed.

You Can't Take It With You

By George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart
 

This delightful  play relates the humorous encounter between a conservative family and the crazy household of Grandpa Martin Vanderhof. Grandpa's family of idiosyncratic individualists amuse with their energetic physical antics and inspire with their wholehearted pursuit of happiness. Kaufman and Hart fill the stage with chaotic activity from beginning to end..
