Production Notes
The February 28, 1997, Oklahoman review, “Carpenter Square Cast Tackles Complex Drama,” reportedly praised the ensemble and younger actresses. Supplemental research inconsistently assigns Miss Mackay to Suzanne Charney, also identified as Jean Brodie; no double role is asserted without a primary cast list. Ron Martin had been credited as CST executive director; Lysandra Dial had previously worked in box office and stage management. February 21, 1997, Journal Record coverage identifies Oklahoma Arts Council and National Endowment for the Arts grant support; amounts unknown. Full cast, technical credits, and photographs remain unrecovered.
