Nancy Wellman in Moon Over Buffalo
NEW CENTURY PLAYERS presents Ken Ludwig's
MOON OVER BUFFALO
Charlotte and George Hay are on tour in Buffalo with a repertory consisting
of Cyrano de Bergerac and Noel Coward's Private Lives. Fate has given
these thespians one more shot at starring roles. Will Charlotte appear--or
run off with their lawyer? Will George be sober enough to emote? Will
we see Cyrano, Private Lives, or a disturbing mixture of the two? This
backstage farce by the author of Lend Me A Tenor is nothing less than
a love letter to live theatre.
July 16, 17, 22, 23 and 24 7:30pm (Yes, there is a Thursday performance!)

has just returned from Fells Point (historic Baltimore), MD where she
was indoctrinated into the first ever Honorable Order of the Leviathon

one of the top fictional pirates in the country, as voted by readers of
Pirates Magazine. She was
chosen to be up for the vote out of hundreds of pirate leaders around
the nation who personify "piratitude". Kate's character was
the top vote getter overall and one of only two female characters inducted.
AIA Actors Shuhe Hawkins (aka Luc the Lucky) and Kate, are co-captains
of the ever growing Portland

and the Germans before them. Kate is also band leader of The BOOM Bilge

Derek Sitter
(Bend) Volcanic Theatre’s new Pub Theatre and it’s anticipated
premier of Bobby Gould in Hell by David Mamet is finally here. Months
of preparation, vacations, crisis, budgets, and Acts of God have led the
troupe to a Tuesday March 2nd opening at The Silver Moon Brewery 24 NW
Greenwood Ave. and a Saturday follow-up performance March 6th at The Wine
Shop 55 NW Minnesota Ave. with many shows to follow.
Volcanic Theatre is a new Oregon theatre troupe that performs short one-act
plays in area pubs and other venues with the idea to bring affordable,
edgy, live, intimate theatre to the public. Volcanic’s founder Derek
Sitter, a professional actor and lifetime member of The Actors Studio,
is dedicated to do smart, relevant, and always entertaining material that
enhances the pub experience. Bobby Gould in Hell is the perfect play to
begin that quest.
“Hell” by David Mamet begins when the misogynistic narcissist
Bobby Gould (from Mamet’s Speed the Plow) wakes up in Hell after
a long night of shenanigans completely equipped with a very bad hangover.
The Devil or ‘Interrogator’, who would rather be fishing,
attempts to have Bobby admit his “Acts of A Bad Man.” The
prosecution continues when The Devil and his Assistant (The Grim Reaper)
‘bring down’ the stubborn Glenna, a medical assistant and
Bobby’s former lover, as an eyewitness to testify against Bobby.
The result is a fascinating look at Good versus Evil as well as a hysterical
romp through the Gates of Hell.
David Mamet (Glengarry Glen Ross, American Buffalo) is a Pulitzer Prize
Winning Playwright and a very accomplished filmmaker. Mamet’s dialogue
is electrically sharp, sometimes profane, but ultimately very smart.
Hell’s cast includes Ric DeMarco as Bobby Gould, Sandra Doolittle
as The Assistant, Jeanne Sitter as Glenna, and Derek Sitter as The Interrogator.
Directed by Derek Sitter. Doors will open at 7pm with Performances at
8pm at both venues. Tickets for the Silver Moon are available at BendTicket.com
for $7 or $10 at the door. $10 door at The Wine Shop. This show is 21
and over. For more information contact Derek Sitter at volcanictheatre@bendbroadband.com
or 541-215-0516.
