Based upon the book, Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, the story is an undeniably moving account of the lives of eight people who went into hiding to escape persecution under Nazi rule, and the compassionate friends who helped them. The staging of this production captures the claustrophobic realities of their daily existence, and yet is essentially the story of hope and the triumph of the human spirit. Written by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, it is newly adapted by Wendy Kesselman. Directed by Jody L. Powell, the cast features stage veterans and newcomers alike.
Shiloh Kittles of Eunice brings the title character to the stage with a voice full of courage, determination, and wit. At age 13, Shiloh already has several stage productions under her belt, having worked backstage and taken on roles in Crowley and Eunice over the past four years, including a British-speaking tree in this summer’s children’s production at EPT. Playing Otto Frank, Anne’s father, is Shiloh’s real-life father, John D. Kittles, also of Eunice. After having taken on the lead role in EPT’s “What the Bellhop Saw”, he branched out to Crowley for a role in “A Flea in Her Ear”, and came back to Eunice for a supporting role in “A Nice Family Gathering”. He has also operated the sound board for EPT.
Denise Fusilier, an EPT board member from Eunice, returns to the stage after a long absence following her last show, “Sylvia” to play the role of Anne’s mother, Edith Frank. She was also featured in “Over the River and Through the Woods” at EPT. Denise can often be found back stage handling stage manager and costume duties.
Anne’s sister, Margot, is played by Bailey Miller of Basile. Bailey is familiar with the stage from having participated in pageants and talent shows, and this is her first theatrical role. She has also been featured in some digital short films.
Sharing the space in the annex with the Frank family is the Van Dann family, headed by Hermann Van Dann, portrayed by Shawn Darbonne of Eunice. An avid theatre-goer and enthusiast, this is Shawn’s stage debut.
Also making her stage debut, playing Mrs. Van Dann, is Emily Heinen of Eunice. Although this is her first time on stage, Emily brings an understanding of Mrs. Van Dann’s plight to the role.
Randy T.C. LaCombe of Crowley plays the Van Dann’s son, Peter. Randy has been in several plays in Crowley including The Acadia Players’ most recent production of “The Bold, The Young, and The Murdered”, in which he played an actor playing a soap opera character.
The last person to join the Frank family in the attic is Mr. Dussel, played by Shane Guilbeau of Lafayette. Shane delighted EPT audiences with his comedic turns in “What the Bellhop Saw” and “The Murder Room”. He has been in several productions in Lafayette and has recently completed filming for a TV series and an internet ad.
Playing the role of Miep Gees, the woman who visited the families daily and brought them supplies and provisions, is Kristi Burleigh of Ville Platte. Kristi has been in several EPT productions, including “Fiddler on the Roof”, “Dorothy Meets Alice”, “Schoolhouse Rock Live!”, and “Camelot”.

121 S. Second Street - Downtown Second St., Eunice - 337-580-1787http://www.blogger.com/profile/00734281678335507766noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8069472471596255741.post-64882559977782743152013-02-24T07:57:00.005-08:002013-02-24T07:57:48.975-08:00Eunice Players' Theatre Opens 44th Season With A Comedy<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As the Eunice
Players’ Theatre opens its 44th season, Jody L. Powell brings to the stage “The
Glass Mendacity”, written by Maureen Morley and Tom Willmorth. The
two-act comedy is a spoof of Tennessee Williams’ most famous plays, "The
Glass Menagerie", "A Streetcar Named Desire", and "Cat on a
Hot Tin Roof"<br />
<br />
Williams’ plays are
family dramas, and as such, they are filled with fragile and damaged Southern
characters who are driven to madness, alcoholism, deceit, and fantasy. Thus,
they are easy targets for lampooning and parody, which is just what the authors
of this play have done with them. In addition, the authors have taken family
members from each play, mixed them up, and created an entirely new outrageous
brood. Audiences with a strong familiarity of Williams’ plays will get the most
out of the show, but the humor of "The Glass Mendacity" is broad
enough to make it appealing to all.<br />
<br />
In this mingling of
characters where families are merged and relationships are shifted, Big Daddy
Dubois is played by Kevin Miller of Eunice. He is well known on the
Eunice stage for dramatic and comedic roles from “The Subject Was Roses”, all
of the “abridged” and “Tuna” plays, and more. In Lafayette, he was most
recently seen in “The Rehearsal” and he is a member of Acadiana Repertory
Theatre, having recently been in their production of “CAROL: A Broken Chain”.<br />
<br />
Big Daddy’s wife,
Amanda Dubois, who still recounts the number of gentlemen callers she had in
her youth, is played by Mary Gail Lamonte DeVillier of Opelousas. Mary
Gail has been seen on the Eunice stage in many roles including that of Amanda
Wingfield (from whom her current character is drawn) in “The Glass Menagerie”,
Daisy in “Driving Miss Daisy” and Louise in “Always…Patsy Cline”.<br />
<br />
Together, they are
the parents of Brick, so rendered catatonic by self-pity and alcohol that he
comes across as a real stiff. He is played by a certain gentleman from
Tennessee, whom the audience must see to appreciate.<br />
<br />
Blanche Kowalski,
the tragic nut case, is played by Deborah D. Ardoin of Eunice. Debbi is a
long time member of EPT, and a current member of Acadiana Repertory
Theatre. She was most recently seen in “The Murder Room” and “A Nice
Family Gathering” in Eunice, and “Buried Child” in Lafayette.<br />
<br />
In this twisted
reality, Blanche is now married to the working-class brute Stanley Kowalski,
played by John Snyder of Opelousas. John has studied contemporary theatre
at ULL and The American Theatre for Actors in New York City, as well as
classical theatre at The British American Drama Academy at Oxford. Eunice
audiences may remember him from years past in “Lend Me a Tenor” and “Playing
Doctor”.<br />
<br />
Maggie the Cat, the
scheming seductress, is played by Katryn Schmidt of Lafayette. No
stranger to the stage, Katryn’s work includes roles in “Lost in Yonkers”, “Our
Town”, and “The Vagina Monologues”. Her film work includes “Lord Byron”,
which was screened at the Sundance Festival in 2011.<br />
<br />
Erin Segura of
Lafayette plays Laura Dubois, keeper of a glass menagerie and the dreamer whose
shyness is underscored by her limp. Erin has an extensive theatrical resume
throughout Acadiana including the roles of Shelby in “Steel Magnolias” at Teche
Theatre in Franklin, Rita in “Educating Rita” at Iberia Performing Arts League
in New Iberia, and Lucy Harker in “Dracula” in Lafayette.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
Rounding out the
cast is Allen Higginbotham of Eunice, playing Mitch, a combination of the
gentleman caller and the lawyer acquaintance who properly greases the wheels
and can’t keep his eyes off of Blanche. Allen joined the cast of
“Rumours” on the EPT stage 20 years ago, and made his way back to the boards in
last season’s “On Golden Pond”.<br />
<br />
Evening
performances will be held March 14, 15, 21, 22, and 23 at 7:00 p.m. A
matinee will be held Sunday, March 17 at 2:00 p.m. Dinner theatre (with
steak and trimmings) is scheduled for Wednesday, March 20 at 6:00 p.m. at
Ruby's on Second St., with the performance immediately following.
Individual tickets for the show will be on sale soon. More information
can be found on EPT’s Facebook page.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Bonnie Pitre</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Bonnie Pitre plays Meredith, the sister of the bride. After hearing the description of Tracey the bride, one instantly gets the feeling that these two sisters couldn't be more different. Meredith is not happy to be part of the day's festivities and she isn't afraid to speak her mind about it. But there is something darker lurking just ben</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">eath the surface with Meredith and it will test the bonds that these women have formed in their short time stuck in that ridiculous dress with what looks like a bird's nest on their heads. So here she is boys and girls! Our last bridesmaid, Miss Bonnie Pitre: <br /> <br /> Bonnie Pitre was born and raised in Eunice and is the daughter of Kenneth and Clara Pitre. She was home schooled throughout elementary and middle school. She attended St. Edmund's during high school and graduated from LSU with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration and minor in Theatre. Bonnie is currently a co-owner of Lakeview Park & Beach here in Eunice where she wears many hats from managing and bookkeeping to special events planning and bartending. She is also on the board of the Eunice Chamber of Commerce and the Eunice Players' Theater. Some of the more recent roles that Bonnie has had at the Eunice Players' Theatre include Corie Bratter in “Barefoot in the Park”, Honey in “Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” and Sarah in “Providence”. She also worked in the light and sound booth for “If the Shoe Fits” and “On Golden Pond”. <br /> <br /> Meredith is the younger sister of Tracy, the bride. She grew up very fast and was introduced to many things at a very young age. Bonnie relates to her character in this sense. She grew up hanging out with her older sister and friends and was always the young one in the bunch...although Bonnie was not introduced to nearly as much as Meredith was. Meredith has a dark secret that she has been holding on to which is the reason for much of her anger and despise towards her sister.</span> </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Amy Martel Rider plays Tricia, the most outspoken of all the bridesmaids. She is a woman who knows what she wants and means what she says. Tricia doesn't bite her tongue for anyone. So, to steal a classic line from that other classic comedy about southern women, if you don'</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">t have anything nice to say go sit by Tricia. So here's Amy:<br /> <br /> Amy Martel Rider has literally grown up at the Eunice Players’ Theatre. Her first role onstage was in the theatre’s production of “Noises Off” at the age of 23.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Adrienne Miller plays Georgeanne,
who isn't having the best time at her so-called friend's wedding. See,
Georgeanne went to the wedding with very specific intentions and her eyes set
on a very specific groomsmen but needless to say nothing turned out the way she
planned. But we know you will enjoy watching the fallout because we sure do. So everyone, here is Adrienne!<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Adrienne was in the 5th grade when she entered her first public speaking contest. Since
that time, she has always had a love for speaking in front of an audience. After
spending many years in college and 2 degrees later; she decided it was time to
take to the stage. After performing a small role in the Acadia Players Theater
play, "Cinderella" this past summer; she decided that she wanted to move on to a
larger role. She fell in love with her character, Georgeanne, instantly. Georgeanne is a
very blunt, sarcastic individual who is also extremely emotional at times. She
has been through much turmoil in her young life and Adrienne feels like many women can
personally relate to her. When not acting on stage, IAdrienne works with her first
love....children. Currently, she is in her 3rd year as a school counselor, and she
truly loves every minute of it! </div>

Katelin Lebleu, plays Frances, the Christian cousin of the bride. Frances tends
to be the moral center of the group but as you will see she has a little bit of
wild side that is waiting to come out. But enough about that, here is Katelin. <br />
<br />
Katelin LeBleu, nineteen, is from Basile; where she lives with her father,
Bazil, and younger sister, Brittany.
She is currently a student at Louisiana State University Eunice majoring in

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Kelly Pitre plays Mindy,
the outspoken lesbian sister of the groom. Mindy is a self described high
strung neurotic who is repressed although she may not be as repressed as she
thinks when it comes to speaking her mind. Here is Kelly:<br />
<br />
Kelly Pitre is the wife of Lance Pitre and mother of Matt, Heidi, Alain,
Camille and Nic, and various other “adopted” kids who show up at any given time. She is co-owner of L'Acadie Inn and RV
Park which she also manages. Kelly attended St. Edmund's, LSU-E, and LSU where
she completed her studies with a Master of Arts in Communication Disorders. She
also commits time to her community through the Eunice Chamber of Commerce and
to her church through the St. Thomas More Bereavement and Life Teen cooking
committees. In her other free time, she reads, sews, cooks, and brews a variety
of spirits. She is also a semi-professional off-road truck driver, or so she
believes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Kelly says she relates, in some ways, to all the female
characters. She plays the part of Mindy who is the boisterous and sarcastic
lesbian sister-in-law. While Mindy is happy, go-lucky, she uses her sarcasm to
mask her awkwardness. Kelly empathizes with her character, Mindy, very much in
that respect and is affectionately known as “Queen Dragon Lady” at home. But
watch out, Mindy and Kelly's humor and dry wit often hide a touch of truth!</div>
