	The Gamm Presents RI Premiere of Sin: a Cardinal Deposed By Randy Rice Broadway World [Pawtucket RI] March 7, 2007 http://broadwayworld.com/viewcolumn.cfm?colid=16433 The Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre (Gamm) will present Sin: A Cardinal Deposed, an unflinching docu-drama by playwright Michael Murphy that melds together the words and characters of the Catholic clergy sex abuse crisis in Boston, MA. The play had its world premiere in Chicago, IL in 2004 and has received both audience and critical acclaim. The basis for the play are the testimonies surrounding Law, whose governance of his diocese was scrutinized when years of sexual abuse by priests under his authority were finally revealed. Murphy used both actual courtroom testimony by victims and accused child molesters, as well as internal Church documents in Sin. Gamm Resident Director Judith Swift directs Resident Actor Sam Babbitt in the role of Cardinal Bernard F. Law. The Gamm's production of Sin will include a post-show discussion after every performance, with representatives of support groups for survivors of sexual abuse by clergy, as well as scholars and artists involved in the show. Sin: A Cardinal Deposed begins previews on March 22 and opens on March 26, with performances through April 22 at The Gamm Theatre, 172 Exchange St., Pawtucket, RI.All preview tickets are only $19. Tickets can be purchased at www.artixri.com. Randy Rice currently resides in Providence, RI with his husband Aron. His love affair with live performance began in 1988 when he saw Sammy Davis Jr., Liza Minnelli and Frank Sinatra on a triple-bill at the Worcester Centrum. In the past 18 years he has attended thousands of live performances in every conceivable genre and venue. Randy works with Trillium Asset Management Corp. a socially responsible investment firm in Boston, MA and is on the coordinating committee of Marriage Equality Rhode Island, a grassroots organization that seeks legal recognition of same-sex couples in Rhode Island.
