Actors must be available for all performance dates.

*Available parts:*

*Agnes: *Early 20s, or able to play that age range. Slightly other-worldly
-- or is it that she hears what others cannot? Agnes is a study in
contradictions; she possesses a sweetness but can also be completely
forthright at times. She is guided by God and "love," always. Agnes has a
pure soprano voice and sings several songs of the liturgy throughout the
play. NOTE: While it is *not *essential for the actress to sing, those
auditioning are encouraged to bring a prepared hymn to sing a cappella.

*Mother Miriam Ruth: *Age 50+. Worldly, earthy, nobody's fool.  Her sense
of humor is evident from her first line. She knows and understands sinners
because she is one. Previously married and a heavy smoker, she came to her
calling late. Passionately protective.

The role of *Doctor Martha Livingstone* has been cast.

*Play synopsis:*
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 Agnes from the doctor, arousing Livingstone's suspicions. With Agnes
claiming a virgin conception and having no memory of giving birth,
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.
