Theatre production "The Insanity of Mary Girard"  in Fellers Family Auditorium in Herod Hall on Feb. 13 at 7 p.m. and Feb. 14 at 2 p.m. 

Directed by student Lilith Ferrero for her Senior Capstone presentation.

The Insanity of Mary Girard is the real-life story of a Philadelphia woman who spent the last 25 years of her life in a mental institution. In 1790, Mary Girard is committed to an asylum. After she became pregnant by another man, her husband had her declared legally insane. Now, she sits in a chair as the “furies” dance around and impersonate people from her past. By the end of this haunting and highly theatrical piece, Mary has grown rather convincingly into her diagnosis.
