Casting for "Agnes of God". Summoned to a convent, Dr. Martha Livingstone, a court-appointed psychiatrist, is charged with assessing the sanity of a novice nun accused of murdering her newborn. Miriam Ruth, the Mother Superior, determinedly keeps young Agnes from the doctor, further arousing Livingstone’s suspicions. Who killed the infant and, perhaps more importantly, who fathered the tiny victim? Livingstone’s questions force all three women to re-examine the meaning of faith and the power of love, leading to a dramatic, compelling climax.

Directed by Nicolaas Voordendt, this critically acclaimed dramatic script by John Pielmeier will be Whyalla Players opening production for Season 2024, to be performed March 8 and 9.

Casting call:

Sister Agnes
Lead. Female. Stage age: Early 20s.

Mother Miriam

We simply cannot stop expressing our gratitude to our magnificent season sponsors for 2023! Thank you so much to the GFG Alliance Community Support and Sponsorship Program for assisting us to stage our 2023 Major Musical.

There are many costs associated with staging our productions, with specialist support required to build and create our sets, props and costumes, hire our venues, our licensing and advertising, insurances and the list goes on. Without your support, our 100% volunteer run and led organisation would not have the means to continue to bring our high-quality theatrical productions to Whyalla.

So we are super grateful when we have the support of our sponsors such as GFG Alliance, to allow us to offset some of those expenses so that we can keep our ticket pricing down for you, our valued audiences.

Stay tuned for imminent updates on our 2023 Major Musical.

I went to that show !! I’ve never laughed so much in my life!! I spoke to Warren McKenzie and he said what we rehearsed was always different on the night !! It was a great show!!

You were so funny lyn and i remember you taking my mum to lunch in adelaide just before she started getting unwell

What can I say? The things we do. But I did them with some of the most wonderful people ever❤️

You have to be a confident man to wear pink tights and such a short skirt, Warren McKenzie! You both look great!

One of my favourites.

Twas a goody. Was part of the crew. I reckon this was the best production by the Players. Kym Clayton displayed his magnificent directing skills bringing this show to the stage

They were brilliant as were all the cast
