    The Acting Ensemble Stage Company presents its production of "The Tiernan Affair," a series of true events of sin and scandal in a jazz age American city…South Bend, Indiana.

    Set in the 1920’s, against the familiar backdrop of downtown South Bend, The Oliver Mansion (now Copshaholm), and The University of Notre Dame, "The Tiernan Affair" looks at a Notre Dame law professor and his family torn by scandal, ripped apart by reporters, and examined in minute detail, as has become familiar fodder on the evening news and across the internet today. For months, from New York to Los Angeles, the country focused on a paternity scandal in South Bend, Indiana that set precedents in the legal world, as well as on the public eye.

    Often comedic, this is a thought-provoking, dynamic, intriguing and ultimately thoroughly entertaining look at South Bend life in the not-so-distant past…Truth IS stranger than fiction!

    Conceived and staged by James Geisel, featuring scene design by Erik Zagorac, lighting design by Michaela Duffy, the cast features some of South Bend’s most accomplished actors, Matthew Bell, Rick Ellis, Melissa Gard*, Kelly Geisel, Melissa Manier, Mark Moriarty, Anthony Panzica, Scot Shepley. and Nicole Brinkmann Reeves.

          The first act will draw you in...then prepare to be blown away after the intermission.
