The plays
The
Romantic Age, by

Production dates: June 12-15, 28,
29.
The cast:
Melisande Knowles, young
daughter of a solidly middle-class Edwardian family. She
is filled with dreams of romance.
Amanda Williford
Mr. Knowles, Melisande’s
father, who has his own vein of romantic whimsy.
Mark Abels
Mrs. Knowles, her mother,
set on finding Melisande a “solid” husband. . . .
Teresa Doggett
Jane, Melisande’s young
cousin. She has more common sense
than Melisande.

persistant but very ordinary suitor.
Kris Ramsey
Maid Dorothy Farmer Davis
Gervase, a handsome and
dashing stranger who appears one night dressed as
Prince Charming.
Charlie Barron
Gentleman Susan, an old
itinerant ribbon peddler. A magical
role, full of charming
wisdom.
George Wiseheart
Ern, a country boy of six or so.
Ladyhouse
Blues, by Kevin
O’Morrison—set in a working-class home in St. Louis in 1919. Liz Madden and her four daughters show
grit and spirit as they struggle to survive and wait the return of the son
who’s fighting in France.
Rich in local and period color.

Cast:

home with TB.

Dot, married above her station.
Valerie Jean Waters
Terry, waitress and spirited labor activist.
