Catlin

Dr. Catlin, who was sometimes called the father of drug testing in sports, was the director of the U.C.L.A.

Dr. Catlin’s quarter-century at the lab coincided with a period of drug scandals in the sports world, including one involving the Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson, who was stripped of his gold medal in the 100-meter race at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul after he tested positive for the anabolic steroid stanozolol.

Dr. Don Catlin, who built the first U.S. antidoping laboratory, and whose research unlocked the chemistry behind numerous previously undetectable performance-enhancing drugs and snared athletes who cheated by using steroids and other banned substances, died on Jan. 16 at his home in Los Angeles.

It’s adapted and directed by founding ensemble member David Catlin, who was among a group of Northwestern students who created the theater company in 1988.

Catlin’s version was crafted in 2005 and calls for just five actors — including two alternating as Alice due to the physical demands of the role.
