Past performances... Written and directed by Merle Miller NICEA! Special thanks to the cast who made Nicea! so much fun. This historical play, written in two acts, depicts the time of the Council of Nicea, in 325 AD, when Roman Emperor Constantine, and the bishops of the early Christian religion, created the Nicean Creed and the unified Catholic Church. The Council's decisions profoundly influenced Christian religion in the past and in modern times. Research for this script has been ongoing for years in order to make the performance as authentic as possible. What we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat in the future. The conclave included: Steve Becker, Shannon Becker, Nancy Gorske, Josh Peacock, Ron Schafer, Jon Winey, Andy Ruminski, T. J. Martin, Dave Russell, Kelly Clark, Tim Stabosz, Dennis Ostrovsky, Brock Vinson, and Merle Miller. |
Washington Stage Theatre Presents 3 Messiahs Walk Into a Bar November 20, 21, and 22, 2009 Doors open Friday and Saturday at 7:00 p.m. Curtain opens at 7:30 p.m. Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. Tickets are $5 in advance, or $10 at the door. Call for ticket information at: 219.326.5184. The play is a comedy written by Matt Hanf and edited by Merle Miller. Matt is from California, which may explain some things about this off-beat, liberal twisted plot about Mary and Joseph... before they become famous. Matt is a high school teacher by day and a playwright by night. He always thanks his wife for his best lines, and his script ideas from pepperoni pizza late at night, after grading papers. No stage experience is required, but almost all parts require some singing. Please be prepared to read on stage, recite something from memory, and sing. Dancing is not required. There are parts for up to 13 players, plus a harmony chorus. |
