Directed by Ted Sod, the New Jersey theatre's mounting of John Pielmeier's play features Suzzanne Douglas as Dr. Martha Livingstone, Laurie Kennedy as Mother Miriam Ruth and Maria Dizzia as Agnes. The limited engagement — with set design by Ted Simpson, costume design by David Murin, lighting design by Joe Saint and sound design by Christopher J. Bailey — will run through Feb. 1. Agnes of God concerns the death of a newborn baby found in a convent wastebasket and the guilt or innocence of a 21-year-old nun. The drama opened at Broadway's Music Box Theatre in March 1982, where it played 599 performances before closing Sept. 4, 1983. The original cast featured Elizabeth Ashley, Geraldine Page and Amanda Plummer as Agnes. Plummer won a Best Featured Actress Tony for her performance.
