Never the Sinner October 3–6, 2007 A play by John Logan *Production Staff* Director: Dwight Watson Scenic and Lighting Designer: James Gross Sound Designer: James Phillips Costume Designer: Caroline Stine Stage Manager: Anthony Morton '10 Asst. Stage Manager: Wil Goodrich '09 Dramaturge: Nelson Barre '08 *Cast List* Nathan Leopold Jr.: Spencer Elliott '10 Richard Loeb: Seth Einterz '11 Robert Crowe: Dustin Foster '09 Clarence Darrow: Kyle Cassidy '08 Reporter 1/Dr. Bowman: Patrick McAlister '10 Reporter 2/Germaine Rheinhardt, Dr. Hulbert: Amina McIntyre Reporter 3/Sergeant Gortland, Bailiff: Eric Selsemeyer '11 Reporter 4/Dr. White: James Morey '11 *Production Assistance* Lightboard Operator: Cody Grady '10 Soundboard Operator: Tyler Williams '08 Makeup/Hair Designer: Georgeanna Smith Wardrobe Head: Clay Zook '10 Stagehand: Jaime Cantu '10 Never the Sinner takes place in Chicago, May 21, 1924. Nathan Leopold Jr., age 18, and Robert Loeb, age 19, killed 14-year-old Bobby Franks and were quickly apprehended when Leopold’s glasses were found near the corpse. Clarence Darrow defended them, pleading eloquently against capital punishment. This off-broadway hit explores the complex relationship between Leopold and Loeb with a story set to themes of crime and punishment, the press, the times, humanism, Nietzsche’s philosophy, and the end of the Jazz Age. The New York Post says, "Great theatre. An excellent and compelling play!" This page is part of an ongoing project to document the history of the theatre productions performed at Wabash College.

Glengarry Glen Ross February 20-23, 2008 A play by David Mamet Director: James M. Cherry Ast. Director/Dramaturg: Nelson Barre '08 Scenic Designer: James Gross Lighting Designer: Tim Closson '09 Costume Designer: Caroline Stine Stage Manager: Cody Grady '10 Assistant Stage Manager: Jacob Clough '11 Aaronow - Luke Robbins '11 Levene - Kyle Cassidy '08 Moss - Dustin Foster '09 Williamson - Spencer Elliott '10 Blake - Josué Gutiérrez '11 Roma - Matt Goodrich '09 Lingk - James Morey '11 Baylen - Patrick McAlister '10 Light Board and Posters: Tyler Williams '08 Makeup/Hair Designer: Georgeanna Smith Wardrobe and Stagehand: Clay Zook '10 Stagehand: Rob Fozkos '10 The winner of the 1984 Pulitzer Prize for drama, David Mamet’s Glengarry Glen Ross offers audiences a snake’s-eye view of the real estate business. In that world, knowing the shot, closing the deal, and getting up on the Cadillac board are all that matter. And desperation reigns. The New York Times’ Ben Brantley wrote "[it] feels like having espresso pumped directly into your bloodstream." Brimming with intense, crackling dialogue, Glengarry Glen Ross reveals the dark underside of the American Dream. It should be noted that the character of Baylen was played by two different men throughout the run of Glengarry Glen Ross. Patrick McAlister '10 was originally cast in the role. He went through the six weeks of rehearsal and performed the first two nights. Friday afternoon, he had a minor medical emergency that caused him to be unable to perform. Nelson Barre '08 quickly filled in Patrick's shoes. However, the evening of Patrick's illness was also the night Dr. Z chose to take pictures of the production. The image in the photo album with Patrick as Baylen was taken earlier in the week at a dress rehearsal by Jim Amidon.

Her best friend, Lucienne, concocts a plot to catch Victor by writing him an anonymous love letter suggesting a meeting at the hotel Coq d’Or. The plan backfires, though, when Victor assumes the letter was meant for his best friend, Tournel, who has the hots for Raymonde. A Flea in Her Ear is a riotous farce full of slamming doors, mistaken identities, and sexual innuendo.
