Summoned to a convent, Dr. Martha Livingstone, a court-appointed psychiatrist, is charged with accessing the sanity of a novice nun accused of murdering her newborn baby. Miriam Ruth, the Mother Superior, determinedly keeps young Agnes from the doctor, arousing Livingstone’s suspicions further. 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. Directed by Jessica West. February 18, 19 & 20 at 7:30pm; February 21  at 2:30pm. $10 for adults; free for students
