We at BackStage Theatre Company are quite busy these days. On February 27th, we opened our Jeff Recommended production of Shelagh Stephenson’s “The Memory of Water,” which plays through March 28th. We are also now in full pre-production mode for the final show of our 2008-2009 season, “On An Average Day” by John Kolvenbach. At the same time we are shoring up preparation for our upcoming 10th season.
And yet, our ensemble still manages to find time to make impressions in the greater theatre community.
We currently have five ensemble members participating in three Jeff Recommended productions around town. In addition to Rebekah Ward-Hays and Ron Kusava appearing in our own “Memory of Water” (with scenic design by our very own Heath Hays), BSTC Ensemble Member Michael Pacas is currently playing in Griffin Theatre’s Jeff Recommended production of “The Robber Bridegroom.” And BSTC Ensemble Member Brenda Barrie is turning some serious heads and making a major critical impact with her much lauded performance in LifeLine Theatre’s Jeff Recommended “Mariette In Ecstasy,” now playing at Lifeline Theatre.
And now, BSTC Ensemble member and Managing Director, Katherine Keberlein, is currently rehearsing to join the cast of the much ballyhooed mega-production of “Don’t Dress for Dinner,” now playing at the Royal George Theatre. Katherine was least seen in BSTC’s 2008-2009 revival of “How I Learned to Drive.” We are thrilled for her!

Exciting times for our Ensemble!
