     The Play:  Paris in 1963. Director Henry Lockwood has come to City of Light for the premiere of his new film, "Panic."  Accompanied by his wife Emma and his secretary Miriam, Lockwood expects to bask in the glory of success and the adulation of young French film critic Alain Duplay.  But when Lockwood is accused of a hideous crime - a crime that could destroy his career and his marriage - he's forced to confront the truth about himself and those closest to him. Lockwood, known the world over as "the sultan of suspense" is caught in a nightmare straight out of one of his own films. "Panic" is directed by popular University Theatre veteran Liz Larson and features a cast that includes:

• Tony Abbott as Henry Lockwood
• Daniel Harte as Alain DuPlay
• Sharon Dixon-Obst as Emma Lockwood
• Meghan O'Toole-Gott as Miriam Stockson
• Jenna Osterland as Liliane Bernard and Juliet Cottard
