Juliet! Juliet!
Wherefore art thou, Juliet?
Oh! There you are!
Emily Beck will star as Juliet in Purlie Production's wonderful performance of Romeo & Juliet!
Thanks to Purlie, the Okefenokee Heritage Center, and many commercial sponsors, Shakespeare is being brought to Southeast Georgia!
Emily is a distinguished young talent of our area, starring twice as Anne Frank in The Diary of Anne Frank, dual roles in The Model Apartment, and numerous appearances with The Flying Dragon, Waycross Area Community Theatre, and the Southside
Christian School Patriot Players.
My good friend, Julianna Lacefield, has the role of Lady Capulet. I've been onstage with her many times, and she always shines.
Wendy Walker, who has been a theatre and TV performer in the past, and after a break, returns to the stage as the Nurse.
Brittany Burkett, a good friend of Benjamin's from Pierce County Musical Theatre class, will appear as Mercutio.
Sadly, Benjamin and I passed on doing this play, a choice that may have been wise, but has left me conflicted and Hamletting.
On the other hand, I am looking forward to being able to sit out in the audience and enjoy this great show!
See you there!
