First play, “The Valor of My Tongue.” It is a meta play, written and directed by Sheila Duane, about the day Macbeth meets the woman who will become his undoing, Lady Macbeth. Starring AJ Melnick as General Macbeth and Renee Panagos as Ingen (Lady Macbeth)
Second play, “Wanna Sing the Blues” also written and directed by Sheila Duane is the story of a young southern belle, Kitty Greene, who (like most people at one time or another) falls in love with a lothario saxophone player. Kitty seeks the assistance of Papa A, a man who was once the most famous Bluesman in Mississippi. And Papa A teaches her to sing the blues!
“Wanna Sing the Blues” also stars AJ Melnick as ‘Papa A’ Cosmo Abraham and Renee Panagos as Miss Kitty Greene.
Both plays are 10 minutes and will be shown live on Facebook with a brief 10 minute Q & A will follow each performance. These performances are available on Jersey Shore Arts Center’s Youtube channel for viewing after 5/14.
