"Last Rites" opens Waterfront South Theatre September 10th

I am proud to announce South Camden Theatre Company's sixth season of producing professional theatre in Camden, New Jersey which will be the first season in our new home Waterfront South Theatre. We had hoped to bring you my play "Last Rites" this spring but due to snow delays we decided it is better to bring you a full season starting in the fall in our beautiful new theatre. "Last Rites" will be directed by Christopher "Jumbo" Schimpf and will open September 10th for a full four week run. In October, we celebrate the return of "The Old Settler", written by John Henry Redwood and again directed by Theresa Devine Banford. Our third production is Clifford Odets groundbreaking play "Waiting For Lefty" that I will direct in February 2011. Our season will close next May with a fourth play "A Moon For The Misbegotten" written by Eugene O'Neill and directed by Randy Petersen. Next season's theme is "the past... in the present... is the future". We will have a fundraising event in the theatre this spring that I will tell you about soon. Until then we will be hard at work finishing the theatre and making Camden shine! Heal Camden!

Belmont close / Theatre tour

Thank you to everyone who came out to see "Belmont", a truly outstanding play and well acted and directed production. . If you were there this past Sunday, I hope you enjoyed the tour of the new Waterfront South Theatre after the show. Electricians will begin installing our lighting system today as well as the staircase will go in this week. We are aiming for an April 29th opening of my play "Last Rites" for a full four week run. There is lots to do before we can open but we hope to make that date a reality. Remember, there are still 29 seats in the "please save a seat" program. Go to www.southcamdentheatre.org. We are also still raising money for our lighting system. If you can help, please see our website as well. We are also auditioning actors for "Last Rites" this Saturday. We seek two caucasion males,who look 19-21 years old. Email me for details. I cannot thank Msgr. Michael Doyle enough for allowing us five plus years of productions in the church basement theatre. We now cross the street to our new beginnings. See you at 4th and Jasper!
