Global ImpACTORS Group (GIG) is proud to announce their production of the award winning, 'Pieces of Evelyn', written by local playwright, Betsy Jackson and directed by Rachel Williams.
This dramatic comedy offers glimpses of Evelyn along the road of life - as she visits with the people, experiences, and issues that contributed to who she has become.
This whimsical journey is illustrated through humorous (and sometimes serious) scenes, which look at how our choices shape our lives... and how our lives shape our choices.
'Pieces of Evelyn' won the 2010 NEPTA Award for Best Original Play and was the first winner of the Shawnee Playhouse Original Playwright Series.
The show is stage managed by Judith Evans, with Stefan Goslawski as Assistant Director and features the following cast members: Trish Cipoletti, John Corl, Kristi Curtis, Raven Dailey, Judith Evans, Kelly Herbert James, Remy Kayal, Ryan MacNamara, Keith Moser, Tesia Nicoli, Jeanie Olah, and Elaine Zelker.
