Agnes of God Set for Nehalem Stage

The 1982 dramatic Broadway play Agnes of God will be performed at the North County Recreation District Performing Arts Center in Nehalem in late August and early September.

The production is being presented by Rising Tide Productions, and directed by George Dzundza, professional veteran of theater, film, and television. It features local actors Kenia Goodman as Sister Agnes Devereaux, Cameron Lira as Doctor Martha Livingston, and Susi Brown as Mother Miriam Ruth.

“Although it appears to be a murder mystery, the play has a powerful message about our spiritual lives,” said Dzundza. “Modern demands have stretched us to our limits. Our daily concerns and cynicism have drifted us away from things of deeper value. Our belief systems very often are compromised.” He added, “In the continued tradition of Rising Tide Productions, this play has the capacity to entertain the audience while provoking thought and discussion.”

The show runs August 25th through September 10th at the NCRD Performing Arts Center in Nehalem. Friday and Saturday performances are at 7 p.m. Sunday shows start at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 and available at the door. Payment by cash or credit card will be accepted.

A special talkback presentation will be offered at the end of the show on August 27th. Audience members will get a chance to meet the actors and the director to discuss the play. The audience will be encouraged to ask questions about the play and the production process.

Based on a true incident, Agnes of God opened on Broadway in March 1982 and ran for 599 performances. In 1985, it was released as an American neo-noir mystery film starring Jane Fonda, Anne Bancroft, and Meg Tilly, and directed by Norman Jewison.

Rising Tide Productions was formed in Tillamook County in 2016 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization to be educational in nature, provide support and further the dramatic arts. Its mission is to develop the acting and stagecraft skills of its participants and serve the community by bringing thought-provoking, enlightening and entertaining stage works not limited to the family-friendly constraints of traditional community theatre groups.
