Opening to the purposefully discordant music played by cellist Sarah K. Howard ’07, the first play features four actors, Kris J. Bartkus ’08, Faith O. Imafidon ’08, Phil Redko, and C. Calla Videt ’08. Each gives a noteworthy performance, easily and impressively filling a range of roles, each playing a universally cold and cruelly detached doctor and a number of believable characters afflicted by disorders.

In 1953, a Federal court acquited Alfonse Bartkus of the charge of robbing a Federally insured bank in Cicero, Ill.
