LCC's Black Box is an ideal setting for the intimate tug of war between faith and science that is Agnes of God by John Pielmeier. The simple set is a beautiful marriage of light and set, suggesting stained glass and church windows (set design Paige Dunckel & Jim Miner; lights Dave Bischoff.) Paige Dunckel directs a trio of characters, each troubled and searching in her own way — and there's a "murder mystery" involved.
Kelly McNabb tackles the demanding role of Dr. Livingstone, the chain-smoking psychiatrist who leads us through the show. Kelly is not old enough to bring the ideal level of gravitas and perspective to her middle-aged role, but still demonstrates a wide range of character, talking to the audience, interrogating, locking horns, cajoling, and debating with Sister Miriam and Agnes. Oralya Garza is very believable as Sister Miriam, both nurturing and stubborn, religious and cloistered but well aware of the realities of the outside world. Devaughn Staley is convincing as Agnes, with a childlike sweetness that explodes with emotion during climactic scenes.
