My latest obsession... My latest obsession...
get attached to the actors... but not the characte get attached to the actors... but not the characters! #Repost - @elitetheatreco The Elite Theatre Company in Oxnard is thrilled to announce the cast for ANDRONICUS, running in December on the South Stage: The cast: Sindy L McKay-Swerdlove (Tita) Alyssa Carmen (Tamora) Ashley Maimes (Lavinia) Lindsay Styler (Lucius) Theresa Secor (Marcus) Susanna R. A. Miller (Saturninus) Genesis Perez (Chiron) Shelby Dickinson (Demetrius) Danna Zoe Ramirez Torres (Young Lucius, Mutius, Ensemble) Sharon Reinhold (Aemilius, Nurse, Bassianus, Alarbus, Ensemble) Emily Redman Hall (Quintus, Goth 1, Ensemble) Sophia Trese (Martius, Goth 2, Messenger, Ensemble) and Stan McConnell (Aaron) The play is an interpretation of Shakespeare's bloodiest tragedy, adapted and directed by Bill Walthall. Set after an apocalyptic pandemic has wiped out three-quarters of the male populace, this interpretation pits two warrior mothers against one another, locked into an ever-building cycle of revenge and violence, and leading to the inevitable conclusion that vengeance rots us all. A nine-performance run is scheduled from Friday, December 3 through Sunday, December 19, with Friday and Saturday evening performances at 8pm, Sunday matinees at 2pm, and a special Thursday night show on December 16 at 8pm. NOTE: due to Channel Islands Harbor's annual Parade of Lights, there is no performance on Saturday, December 11. Tickets on sale soon!!! @stanmcc3 @reinhold.sharon @panicversuseuphoria @ashleyfaye6 @lindsay_styler @theresa.secor.5 @contraltosaurus @thealyssacarmen @sindymck @billwalthall @laura.comstock.96 @arrianamia @emma.mgarcia
