First in line would be the first vice president, Francisco Tudela, who resigned last month following Montesinos?s return to Peru from a failed...
...strength of the production undoubtedly also lies in its supporting cast. Sarah Eno '03 and Ashley McCants '02 deserve special praise for their resounding performances as Valentin's love Marta and Molina's mother. Their duet in "Dear One" is especially unforgettable. Brian Gatten too demands an awesome presence on stage as the Warden. Kudos also to Scott Rowen '02 and Adam Robbins '00 for strong performances...
