Photo Flash: First Look at HEROES at Santa Paula Theater Center

The Santa Paula Theater Center presents HEROES by Gerald Sibleyras, adapted by Tom Stoppard on its Main Stage running now through Oct. 12. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast onstage below!

The comedy, HEROES, takes place in 1959 in a home for retired World War I veterans. Our three "HEROES" find themselves fed up with just reliving old war stories and begin looking for adventure beyond the cemetery they overlook from their patio each day. A plan to escape their humdrum existence develops as they imagine the freedom beyond- Indochina or just the hill behind the poplars?

HEROES features a stellar cast of three with Philippe being played by Tom Puckett, Gustave by David Ralphe, and Richard Winterstein as Henri. Eric Stein directs the project with Leticia Mattson and Leslie Nichols producing. Resident Set Designer Mike Carnahan, Lead SPTC Costumer Barbara Pedziwiatr, and Resident Lighting Designer Gary Richardson support the production with their design skills and Gail Heck returns as Prop Mistress. Karl Krause is Stage Manager for this production.
