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!"

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.
