...years since Carol Moore's daughter Michelle was brutally raped and murdered in Norfolk, Va., the holidays have always seemed to shine a spotlight on that empty chair at the table. This Thanksgiving was one of the worst. Just two weeks before the feast, three Navy sailors who had confessed to killing her daughter and are serving life sentences filed a petition maintaining their innocence and requesting a full pardon. Wounds Moore had hoped were slowly closing were ripped open again. She went through the motions of the holiday like a zombie, forgetting things, unable to focus, crying...
After close to 13 hours, the detectives had his confession and, in their minds, didn't need to look any further. But six months later, Williams' DNA evidence didn't match blood or semen found on the scene or the skin found under Moore-Bosko's fingernails.

The characters chatter, confess, and flail freely about the confines of these props while also remaining under their influence. From the resigned and self-pitying Masha (Lillian Ritchie ’08) to the quietly desperate Paulina (Shannon Parvis), all the characters struggle within the stark physical boundaries provided. Only the successful Dr. Dorn (Paul P. Linden-Retek ’08) seems comfortable, a sign of his self-assured confidence...
...flushed-faced and elated-yet-guilty clientele? Body language! Back to sixth grade with you! Plus, you shopped there?! You’re the first one I’ve met. Strange, Ms. WBT. I think there’s something else that you really wish to disclose or confess. You’re seeking public, official (if anonymous) confirmation that you’re at rights. I think that your collective moral guilt is a personal moral guilt. I’m not your mother’s ethicist. I know I called prostitution degrading and illegal...
