"A Nice Family Gathering" to Close EPT's 42nd Season

Brett Faulkner, Vincent Barras, Michael Sanchez, Angelle Driggs

As the Eunice Players’ Theatre closes its 42nd season, Jody L. Powell brings to the stage “A Nice Family Gathering” by Phil Olson, a two-act heart-warming comedy fit for the Thanksgiving season.

As the players take the stage, the audience finds the Lundeen family gathered for the first Thanksgiving since Dad died. His presence, however, is felt by middle son, Carl, as Dad beseeches him to tell his wife of 35 years that he loved her. The situation gets complicated by Carl’s own feelings of neglect, and when Jerry, Dad’s old golfing buddy, shows up to dinner as Mom’s “date”.

Rehearsals are underway and the cast of stage veterans and those stepping on the Eunice stage for the first time are already creating characters that will have audiences laughing one minute and tearing up the next.

Current EPT board member Brett Faulkner fills Dad’s ghostly shoes. A regular set builder for EPT, Brett started onstage in “To Kill a Mockingbird” at EPT and later won the Best Actor Irving Award for the title role in “Jake’s Women”. He was most recently seen in “Fiddler on the Roof” and “Moonlight and Magnolias”.

Deborah D. Ardoin of Eunice has the role of Dad’s widow, Helen. Debbi is an audience favorite in comedic and dramatic roles as indicated by her many Irving Awards including most recently Best Actress Awards for playing Martha in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” and Annie in “Misery”. Her favorite comedic roles include Sister Amnesia in “Nunsense”, and Chick in “Crimes of the Heart”, all at EPT. She is a member of Acadiana Repertory Theatre and Cite des Arts’ improv group, both based in Lafayette.

Vincent P. Barras of Lafayette, playing Carl, is a veteran of over 50 plays throughout Acadiana but this is his first time on the EPT stage. Vincent has held prominent roles in many plays including Henry Higgins in “My Fair Lady”, Stage Manager in “Our Town”, and Fagin in and “Oliver!”. He has also directed numerous plays.

Carl’s older brother, Michael, is played by Michael Sanchez of Eunice. This marks his second show with EPT having previously been seen in “Moonlight and Magnolias”.

Angelle Driggs of Eunice has the role of Jill, Michael’s wife. Angelle won a Best Supporting Actress Irving Award for her performance in “Over the River and Through the Woods”. A graduate of Oliva Dodd’s Studio of Dance, Angelle’s dance skills were prominently featured in EPT’s “Grease” and “Godspell”.

Also a graduate of Oliva Dodd’s Studio of Dance is Sarah Soileau of Eunice, making her stage debut as Stacy, the youngest member of the Lundeen clan. Sarah has previously assisted with backstage duties on “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”.

John D. Kittles of Eunice steps in as Jerry. John made his debut on the EPT stage in the lead role in last season’s “What the Bellhop Saw” and has since been seen in Crowley’s Pandemonium Theatre’s production of “A Flea in Her Ear”.

Humor drives the play through family situations that everyone will find familiar - including sibling rivalry and odd dinner fare - but at the story’s heart lies the touching realization that letting loved ones know they are truly loved is a necessity for eternal peace.

Production dates are as follows:
Thursday, November 3 at 7:00 p.m.
Saturday, November 5 at 7:00 p.m.
Sunday, November 6 at 2:00 p.m.

Eunice Players' Theatre Prepares "Barefoot in the Park" as its Season Opener

Eunice Players’ Theatre is preparing its season opener, “Barefoot in the Park”, a two-act comedy by Neil Simon. This production of the play marks a revival on the EPT stage following its first run in 1972. Director Suzanne LaHaye has put together a cast of stage veterans and audience favorites to bring to the stage the story of a newlywed couple who must contend with their own differences - she being free-spirited, he being a strait-laced lawyer - as well as a faulty postage-stamp sized New York apartment, a quirky neighbor and a nosy mother-in-law.

Filling the roles of the newlywed couple, Corie and Paul Bratter are Bonnie Pitre and Gabe Ortego of Eunice. Gabe was most recently seen in "The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society's Production of A Christmas Carol" as Gordon, for which he won the Best Supporting Actor Irving Award. An accomplished actor in the Opelousas and Eunice theatres, with “Providence”, “A Tuna Christmas”, and “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” to his credit, Gabe has also directed “Steel Magnolias”, “Monky Business”, and “The Subject Was Roses”.

Bonnie returns to the stage following her Irving Award-winning performance in “Providence” and a stellar turn in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”. Bonnie appeared in several plays at LSU while earning a minor degree in theatre; she has also been seen on the EPT stage in “Woman” and “The Sound of Music”, and she also ran the lighting for “If the Shoe Fits”.

Longtime EPT actor and frequent set designer Charles Seale returns to the stage in the role of the quirky but charming Victor Velasco after having recently taken part in “Fiddler on the Roof” and co-directed “Deathtrap”. Interestingly, Charles assisted with painting the scenic backdrop for the EPT's earlier production of this show.

Joining the cast as Corie’s mother, Mrs. Banks is Ricci Arnaud from Crowley. Ricci is past president of Acadia Players in Crowley, where she appeared in “The Queen of Bingo”, “A Coupla White Chicks Sitting Around Talking”, and “Seven Nuns in Vegas”.

Stepping in as the telephone repairman is Tucker Kelly of Crowley, most recently seen in last season’s “What the Bellhop Saw” at EPT. He’s also had roles in “Bridge to Terabithia” and “Seance in Acadiana” at Acadia Players, as well as numerous high school and church productions.
Rusty Moody of Eunice has the cameo role of the delivery man. Currently the mayor of Eunice, Rusty is returning to the stage after a 20 year absence, having last been seen in “The Nerd” for which he won an Irving Award.

The show will begin its run Thursday, March 24 through Sunday, March 27. Dinner theatre is scheduled for Tuesday, March 29 at 6:00 p.m. at Nick's on Second St., with the performance immediately following. Other performances dates include Wednesday and Thursday, March 30 and 31.
