"The women immediately bring the strength of their convictions to the
situation in this excellent production by Clevelander Seth Gordon. Each
character represents an extreme in personality type, taking their
respective corners as the play begins."

=20

"Mr. Gordon presents a superb production that moves swiftly, delivering
facts and emotion through the hard driving Dr. Martha Livingston, played
by Elizabeth Ann Townsend." =20

=20

"Townsend delivers a phenomenal, emotionally charged performance."

=20

"The disturbed Agnes, played by Alicia Kahn, moves the most hardened
cynic even before we learn of her past.  Ms. Kahn's tender portrayal of
the troubled young nun who is detached from a basic sense of reality,
elicits genuine depth and anger when hypnotized in order to help the
Doctor uncover facts surrounding the death of her baby."

=20

"Agnes of God presents some insightful questions through its powerful
dialogue."

=20

"Much more than a statement on spirituality and faith, Agnes of God, is
at its heart, a solid mystery that can't help but lay bare the
discussion of faith, miracles, belief and doubt."

=20

Tom Perrino, Cool Cleveland

=20

"Directed with due force and speed by Seth Gordon (Townsend's husband),
this "Agnes of God" boasts three fine acting performances seen close up
in the Beck's snug Studio Theatre."

=20

"Making her Cleveland acting debut, Alicia Kahn exudes a naivete that
burns with a bright blue flame of innocence as Sister Agnes, a novice
nun who is charged with manslaughter in the death of her secret, newborn
infant.  Veteran area actress Sherri Britton hovers protectively as a
forceful Mother Miriam Ruth."

=20

"But the show belongs to Townsend, who is onstage for the entirety of
the play as Dr. Martha Livingstone, a lapsed-Catholic psychiatrist who
has been ordered by the court to evaluate Agnes but becomes hopelessly,
helplessly involved personally."
