GCCC Theatre Presents Agnes of God

Garden City Community College Theatre program is proud to announce the second production of their 2024-25 year, Agnes of God by John Pielmeier, which will play in the KCB Bank Auditorium in the Pauline Joyce Fine Arts Building on the GCCC campus, January 30 – February 1, and February 6 – 8, all at 7:00pm.

Agnes of God, a dark but ultimately redemptive drama, follows the story of Dr. Martha Livingstone, a clinical psychiatrist who has been charged with diagnosing the mental state of young Agnes, an innocent and somewhat naïve nun who has been found in her quarters with an unresponsive newborn in her wastepaper basket. Protesting she remembers nothing of her pregnancy or delivery, Agnes is now the center of combating systems and philosophies, all of which are touted as the only way to determine the truth of what happened — secularism against religion, church against state, doubt against faith. Defended—or attacked—on both sides by Livingstone and her overly-protective Mother Superior Miriam, Agnes seems to be the one person who actually knows the truth but doesn’t vehemently protest a position.

Agnes of God stars GCHS senior Veronica McCallum as Dr. Martha Livingstone, GCCC sophomore Alyssa Santana as Mother Miriam, and GCCC freshman Phybee Madlangbayand as Agnes; GCCC sophomore Ryan Pilosof serves as the show’s assistant director and stage manager, and it is directed and designed by Dr. Joshua Kelly. It performs in the KCB Bank Auditorium in the Pauline Joyce Fine Arts Building on the GCCC campus, January 30 – February 1, and February 6 – 8, all at 7:00pm. All seats are FREE to the public and seating is general admission (houses will open at 6:30pm). Because of some dark themes and adult language, Agnes of God is recommended for mature audiences.
