On Stage: Not Feeling Well

Theatre TCU performed the play I, Sick, written by Leroy Hood ’16, as part of its Studio Theatre series in September. Satirical and comedic, I, Sick follows the main character, I, through a medical struggle with an undiagnosed illness. Sophomore theatre studies major Kaitlin Johnson, right, played the lead opposite senior musical theatre major Maddie Lay, left, who played Mom. The character Dad was represented by the red foam finger. Director Ryenne Bishop, a senior theatre studies major, said the pandemic was an ideal setting for the production. “We dealt with performing in masks, actors’ illnesses and more that deepened the show’s story of yearning to heal while dealing with the medical systems in America.”
