Pesdl Maura WaDIkSirag When Sister Helen Prejean visited SI, she inspired the company, as well as the Student Body, at Friday Morn- ing Liturgy with her experiences. When asked by one of the actors, 'What is the one thing you want our company to convey to our audiences? her response was simple: Each of you has an important role to play in telling the story; you are a team where there is no room for individual ego. Remember, the vocation of acting is enforced compassion. You are doing a wonderful thing when you draw the audience in. As the di- rector, I had two hopes for Dead Man Walking. First, that you appreciated the hard work and dedication of the cast, crews, and production team; this has been a special project we have shared with each other for two and one half months and now have shared with you. My hope is that you have been touched by their generosity. -Mr. Ted Curry (director) Being cast in the role of Sister Helen Prejean in Dead Man Walking this year was a major learning experience for me. I feel honored to have played the role of such an amazing woman, who is so passionate about the moral issues concern- ing capital punishment. Being given the oppurtunity to meet her in person with the cast and ask her questions helped me get into my character and made everything so real while acting the story out on stage. My four year involvement in SI Drama has been extremely rewarding. -Lizzie Fabie '06 (Sister Helen Prejean) Matthew Jones, as Matthew Poncclct. played an inmate sentenced to death.
