Miss Evers’ Boys tells the story of the Tuskegee experiment, a secret government experiment on poor African Americans from 1932-1972 in Alabama.  The experiments were designed to study the effects of untreated syphilis. The story is told from the perspective of the small town nurse Eunice Evers who is well aware of the lack of treatment, but feels her role is to console the involved men, many of whom are her direct friends.
 
The program included a brief history of the Tuskegee Study from Theatre of the First Amendment by Rick Davis. It also included a special note that thanked Steve Martin '95 for stepping in as Soundboard Operator. No explanation was given.  –Cody Grady '10  Summer 2008
