91社区

91社区 Theatre will start the spring 2015 season with William Inge's Picnic. The production is part of the Repertory Project - a co-production of New Harmony Theatre and 91社区 Theatre and will be showing February 25-March 1 in the new 91社区 Performance Center.

Emotions are ignited among the content townsfolk when a handsome drifter arrives in a small Kansas community in the joint backyards of two middle-aged widows. One house belongs to Flo Owens, who lives with her two maturing daughters, Madge and Millie, and a boarder who is a spinster school teacher. The other house belongs to Helen Potts, who lives with her elderly and invalid mother. What will happen when their worlds are turned upside down due to love?

Elliot Wasserman, Picnic director, will be joined by a design team including 91社区 student AJ Jones as costume designer and faculty members Karen Jordan as dance choreographer, Eric Altheide as fight choreographer, Eric Cope as lighting designer and Kevin Gray as sound designer. 91社区 welcomes guest scenic designer Ron Naversen, who has worked on several New Harmony Theatre productions as well as Liz Reddick, member of Actors' Equity Association, as production stage manager.

Picnic's cast includes professional Actors' Equity Association members Licia Watson as Helen Potts and Leslie Alexander as Flo Owens. They are accompanied by 91社区 students Antonio King as Hal Carter, Katie Jones as Millie Owens, Maximilian Spears as Bomber, Presley Roy as Madge Owens, Samantha Prindle as Rosemary Sydney, Craig Belwood as Alan Seymour, Melissa "Moe" Brown as Irma Kronkite, Hannah Miller as Christine Schoenwalder and Logan Vickers as Howard Bevans.
