The third play in Circle Theatre's 35th anniversary season is Tom Dudzick's backstage comedy, Don't Talk to the Actors. A budding playwright's dreams are swept away into a theatrical nightmare when his play is optioned for Broadway. Mr. Dudzicks's semi-autobiographical tale is bound to be another fan favorite at Circle, like his previous productions Over the Tavern (2005); The Last Mass at St. Casimir's (2007); Hail Mary! (2009); and Miracle on South Division Street (2013).
Circle's production is directed by Harry Parker and features Jerry Downey** (Louis Shaw), Bob Hess* (Curt Logan), Ben Phillips** (Mike Policzek), Curtis Raymond Shideler (Jerry Przpezniak), Meg Shideler** (Arlene Wyniarski) and Wendy Welch* (Beatrice Pomeroy). Circle Theatre's production team members include Megan Beddingfield* (Stage Manager), Clare Floyd DeVries (Set Design), John Leach (Lighting Design), David H.M. Lambert (Sound Design), Sarah Tonemah (Costume Design) and Kyle Montgomery (Props Design).
