Concept

AMS was the last show that I stage managed before taking a 14 year hiatus. All of these individuals have done terrific work on the TRP stage and I would love to see them all together. The role of Bert will be played by my daughter who performed as Ophelia (from Hamlet) in Perchance to Dream during the fringe on the TRP stage this summer. This production would answer the question of what do you play at the age of 12 when you have just played Ophelia...

*It's a Segue Production - let's go for week #3 people!
** I didn't see the new rules so this is the one that has a director showing.......

Concept

A revival of the production of this masterpiece, from the production at Pioneer Place in St. Cloud in March/April 2010. Using real grass for the backyard lawn of the Kellers. This show doesn't need any bells and whistles changing it any way. Miller crafted a perfect play with this beautiful, and in some ways, terrifying tragedy of American families and the American Dream gone wrong. One of the best shows I have ever been in in my 18 year career. Here's the rest of the cast and crew:
Jen Scott as Sue Bayliss
Stuart Gates as Frank Lubby
Anna Carol as Lydia Lubby
Cameron Ampe as Bert
and in his return to the stage after close to 50 years in the last show he had done in high school when he played Chris
Mark Barth as Dr. Jim Bayliss.
Directed by: Raine Hokan
