Agnes Of God presented by Hubris Productions at The Greenhouse Theater Center

Chicago Reader - Highly Recommended

"...Mother Superior (Lorraine Freund) hopes she's a holy mystic--and maybe a virgin--and spends much of John Pielmeier's 1982 play in ponderous debate with the shrink, a bitter ex-Catholic. Harris and Freund get bogged down in speechifying at times, but Sara Pavlak's Agnes burns with love, terror, and finally rage, lighting up this Hubris Productions show."

ChicagoCritic - Highly Recommended

"...Agnes of God is a masterful look into the thin line between religious fanaticism and mental illness; between belief and reality; and between society and established religion. What is to become of Agnes? See this show to find out."

Chicago Stage and Screen - Recommended

"...Playwright John Pielmeier manages to keep this religious filled drama short and to the point. Never straying into the territory of forcing God upon its audience members, which is something I can’t say for many religious themed plays out there. This dark and gritty drama is an excellent story whose characters shine bright thanks to veteran actresses Lorraine Freund and Barbara Roeder Harris. The real powerhouse here is rising star Sara Pavlak, her virgin like innocence and youthful elegance really drives this play home."

Around The Town Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...I found this to be a dynamic production and I may have used the word” Powerful” more than I have in any review before, but I found this production , from start to finish to be just that- ( need I say it again?) POWERFUL!"

Chicago Theater Beat - Highly Recommended

"...Jacob Christopher Green’s direction is seamless and well modulated. This is a drama that has the potential to go way over the top, and agonizing to watch (as in the case of the 1985 film featuring Jane Fonda, Anne Bancroft, and Meg Tilly). Playwright John Pielmeir’s script is made for the subtleties of the stage and for understated performances that explode and knock you back in your seat. Brava ladies, Bravo Mr. Green, and kudos to Hubris Productions."
