Allison Moore Lise Rouillier Instrument Theatre as a transformational power. This is more than a belief --belief being subjective, a result of our needs. Set Designer This is knowledge --knowledge being the result of life experience. Francesca Callow General Rule All knowledge should be shared. Lighting Designer Assistant Ughting Designer Driving Force "Our imagination is the only limit to what we can hope to have in the future". Tim Crack Kathy Smith Charles F. Kettening (Remember how and when we couldn't imagine the lazer beam, couldn't Sound Design/ Special Effects Light Board Operator imagine open heart surgery, really couldn't imagine walking on the moon, nor Simon Baker Louis Beaudoin even airplanes, couldn't imagine a steam engine, let alone electricity ... !) Fact It is an established fact that the average human being uses only approximately 11 % Stage Manager of his brain capacity. Heather McCreath Theory "The mind is its own place and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven." John Milton Assistant Stage Manager Now, imagine the possibilities, should we decide to open up. Dave Hamilton Then imagine free access to higher levels of awareness. Imagine open channels to other planes of existence. Imagine communication through time and space.

Krikor Ajemian Martin Kenny Just suppose all this was possible and we were just too scared to try .•. Wouldn't that be the epitome of absurdity? Faculty Design Advisors Susan Hall In this frame of mind, the reality reflected in the Killing Game might bother you. It bothers me to see Eric Mongerson how we're constantly letting ourselves get crushed instead of finding new paths that might lead to our being uplifted. Hopefully, this moment we share will enforce our desire for a better life to the point of acting upon this l desire. That is my intention. Therefore, I've imagined a vision of Ionesco's play that is definitely not a study of his work as a playwright, but rather a hommage to the man, the philosopher whose main goal Seamstress Milliner was never to find a solution, but only to bring us closer to higher expect tions through constant Deborah Marsh Catherine LaU<Ja questioning. 11 Louison Danis Carpenter Don Franklin Assisted by Chris Rochford CAST CAST (Listed Alphabetically) (Con't) Rachel Bertrand Kerry McPherson Woman, Black Flag Woman, Emilie, Policeman, Doctor #5 Woman, Ange~ Citizen # 1, Pierette, Doctor #6 Joe De Paul Stuart Newton Man, Black Monk, Policeman, Alexander, Napoleon Man, Butler, Doctor, Nerd, Old Man, Character, Follower Marcia Doherty Nikki Pouliot Woman, Angel, Doctor, Mother, Doctor #3 Maid, Jacqueline, Woman, Character #3, Niece Emmet Henchey France Rolland Man, Streaker, Coffin Carrier, Undertaker, Rocker, Son, Bludgeoner, Saddam, Doctor #2 Woman, Angel, Screaming Woman, Policeman #3, Old Woman Paul Hopkins Georgina Sabesky Man, Master, Prisoner #2, A Romantic, Main Revolutionary Woman, Angel, Policeman, Chambennaid, Follower, Old Woman Lisa Kagan Joel Silverstone Woman, Nurse, A Romantic, Doctor #4 Man, Emile, Gay Boy, Character #2 Nicola La Morgia Edith Tankus Man, Guard/Bludgeoner, Prisoner#], Gay Man, Officer, Old Man Undertaker, Woman, Citizen #2, Angel, Daughter, Liberty Naomi Levine Cristina Tejeda Woman, Angel, Body on Stretcher, Mother, Doctor # 1 Spanish Woman, Maid #2, Woman, Napoleon's Wife, Angel, Nurse Scott McKenzie Betty Wotoczek I Man, Angel, Jacques, Old Lady # 1, Pope Woman, Character # 1, Katia, Angel, Maid James McLean Man, Angel, Mayor, Old Lady #2, Jailer, Traveler, Young Man DEPARTMENT OF THEATRE STAFF Lynda Bathory * Assistant Technical Director Catherine Cahill * Publicity PRODUCTION CREWS Anne Clark * Production Coordinator Tim Crack * Guest Artist Costume Construction Crew Costume Running Crew Donna Cooper * Assistant to the Chair Laura Black Deanna Dobie Martine Cote Lisa Messinger Maggie Ewing* Wardrobe Manager Alon Freeman Catherine Moore Gene Gibbons * Department Chair Sarah-Anne Grande Jane Piper Fredrica Mintz Steven Rourke Pierre-Rene Goupil * Technical Director Sarah Nixon Noelle Therrien Nicole Marquis * Wardrobe Assistant Isabelle Plouffe Stephanie Thomas Laura Lee Shink Uma Viswanathan Christin Neuss * Cutter Vanessa Slater Robert Paquette * Properties Master Christine Petrakos * D.B.
