12 Angry Jurors

Directed by Nicholas Murphy, Cornerstone Theater Company


A 19-year-old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. "He doesn't stand a chance," mutters the guard as the 12 jurors are taken into the bleak jury room. It looks like an open-and-shut case—until one of the jurors begins opening the others' eyes to the facts.

But it is personal for each juror, with each juror revealing his or her own character as the various testimonies are re-examined, the murder is re-enacted and a new murder threat is born before their eyes! Tempers get short, arguments grow heated, and the jurors become angry. Our modern retelling will become a battle of the sexes versus the traditional staging using all men.


12 Angry Jurors is presented at The Princess Theater in Sanford from October 2nd - October 19th, 2014.


Book of Days

Directed by JT Bick, First Grace United Church of Christ


Nowhere is this more evident than in his latest play, Book of Days, which has won the Best Play Award from the American Theater Critics Association. Book of Days is set in a small town dominated by a cheese plant, a fundamentalist church, and a community theater. When the owner of the cheese plant dies mysteriously in a hunting accident, Ruth, his bookkeeper, suspects murder. Cast as Joan of Arc in a local production of George Bernard Shaw's St. Joan, Ruth takes on the attributes of her fictional character and launches into a one-woman campaign to see justice done. In Book of Days, Lanford Wilson uses note-perfect language to create characters who are remarkable both for their comic turns and for their enormous depth.

Performed on August 15-24 2008 at First Grace United Church of Christ.

Five Women Wearing the Same Dress

Directed by Nicholas Murphy, Cornerstone Theater Company


Alan Ball's comedy celebrates the female spirit as five reluctant and, of course identically clad, bridesmaids duck out of a wedding reception.

The women range from a cynical beauty to sheltered fundamentalist to a wise-cracking lesbian. In other words, the five have nothing in common — except their outfits. But over the course of an afternoon, they find a bond in their femininity.

Nicholas Murphy directs Toni Carpenter, Krista DeLong, Janae Riha, Lauren Culver and Lina Ortiz as the women. Garrett Jurss is the lone man to intrude on the sisterhood.

Out of Commission

Role: Angela, Monk Productions

Catholic School Girls

Role: Wanda and Sister Mary Agnes,


This satire of Catholic school life in the 1960's uses four actresses to play the nuns and the first through eighth grade girls at St. George's School in Yonkers. As they experience bonds of friendship, reprimands from authority figures and pressures from home and they react to the Beatles, the Addams Family, the Supremes and the election of a Catholic president, an amusing portrait of girls maturing to the threshold of adolescence delightfully emerges. Between classroom scenes monologues give free rein to the students' decidedly secular ambitions.

Line of Descent

Role: Anna / Nightbreed, Relic Films

The Diviners

Role: Jeannie Mae, Beth Marshall Presents


The mournful strains of that heartland hymn "Amazing Grace" sound over the drab-colored set as The Diviners opens. The somber music sets the tone. For this is a land of mourning, a place where townsfolk mourn their burned-down church, a mechanic mourns his drowned wife, and a preacher mourns his faith.

In Beth Marshall Presents' gorgeous production, the hardscrabble town of Zion, Indiana, is also a place where a gleam of hope trickles in, like light filtered through clouds – rain clouds that the town desperately needs. Read more in The Orlando Sentinel

Grease

Directed by Toni Clair


Grease is a musical by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey. Named after the 1950s United States working-class youth subculture known as greasers, the musical is set in 1959 at fictional Rydell High School[1] (based on Taft High School in Chicago, Illinois[2] and named after rock singer Bobby Rydell) and follows ten working-class teenagers as they navigate the complexities of peer pressure, politics, personal core values, and love. The score borrows heavily from the sounds of early rock and roll. In its original production in Chicago, Grease was a raunchy, raw, aggressive, vulgar show. Subsequent productions sanitized the more risqué content.[3] The show mentions social issues such as teenage pregnancy, peer pressure and gang violence; its themes include love, friendship, teenage rebellion, sexual exploration during adolescence, and, to some extent, class consciousness and class conflict. Jacobs described the show's basic plot as a subversion of common tropes of 1950s cinema, since the female lead, who in many 1950s films transformed the alpha male into a more sensitive and sympathetic character, is instead drawn into the man's influence and transforms into his wild, roguish fantasy.[4]


The Sisters Rosensweig

Role: Tess


The Sisters Rosensweig is a play by Wendy Wasserstein. The play focuses on three Jewish-American sisters and their lives. It "broke theatrical ground by concentrating on a non-traditional cast of three middle-aged women."[1] Wasserstein received the William Inge Award for Distinguished Achievement in American Theatre for this play.


Cabaret

Role: Dancer


Cabaret is a 1966 musical with music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and book by Joe Masteroff. The musical was based on John Van Druten's 1951 play I Am a Camera which was adapted from Goodbye to Berlin (1939), a semi-autobiographical novel by Anglo-American writer Christopher Isherwood which drew upon his experiences in the poverty-stricken Weimar Republic and his intimate friendship with nineteen-year-old cabaret singer Jean Ross.


Buried Child

Role: Shelley


Buried Child is a play written by Sam Shepard that was first presented in 1978. It won the 1979 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and launched Shepard to national fame as a playwright. The play depicts the fragmentation of the American nuclear family in a context of disappointment and disillusionment with American mythology and the American Dream, the 1970s rural economic slowdown, and the breakdown of traditional family structures and values. In 1979, Shepard also won the Obie Award for Playwriting. The Broadway revival in 1996 received five Tony nominations, including Best Play.
