Casting is completed for Small Craft Warnings by Tennessee Williams presented by Barnaby Edwards and Regeneration Theatre.
This play centers on a motley group of people gathered in a seedy coastal bar in Southern California. The guests read like a list of Williams' favorite types: lusty Leona Dawson (Nicole Greevy*), an embittered middle-aged woman; her ne'er-do-well live-in lover Bill McCorkle (Jed Peterson*); Doc (George A Morafetis*), an alcoholic who lost his license to practice medicine (but still does); Violet (Jenne Vath*), who has eyes for Bill regardless of Leona; Steve (Jon Spano*), a depressed middle-aged short order cook; two gay men - Quentin, a washed-up screenwriter, and Bobby, a young man Quentin picked up on the road (Jason Pintar* and Christian Musto*) ... and Monk (Robert Maisonett), the obligatory bartender running a place of refuge for the vulnerable and the lost.
Williams himself said of this play: "It is the responsibility of the writer to put his experience as a being into work that refines it and elevates it, to make an audience feel the truth of that work." One feels a bit of Williams in each character.
