Sinclair’s production of “A Plague of Angels” will be coming to the Blair Hall Theater this November.
“A Plague of Angels” is based on the true story and struggles of Mary Mallon and her issues with the public health system of New York City in 1907. Mallon’s rights verses the morals of the public and allow the audience to question what is medically ethical in society from the past and in the present.
“I am so excited to share this story,” Director Kimberly Borst said. “I read the script and fell in love with it.”
Borst received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California and her master’s from the University of Idaho. She has directed shows such as “Almost Maine,” “The Women of Lockerbie,” “Miracle Worker” and “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.”
“[Students] get quite a bit of experience from being in plays,” Borst said. “Small casts bare responsibility of telling the story themselves and relying on themselves more than bigger shows.”
Borst said there are four key roles in “A Plague of Angels,” including Rachael Wilson who plays Mary Mallon.
“Every one of the actors has worked really hard,” she said. “From coming to practice, working part-time jobs and going to school. They really love what they do.”
If a student wishes to be in a play, they can come to auditions every semester or they can enroll to be a theater major.
