Meet the Talented Cast
We had the pleasure of catching up with two members of the cast this week. Actor Andrew Thrasher, who brings the character of Stanley Jerome to life, and actress Mary Beth Owen, who plays Laurie Morton, shared their excitement about the upcoming performance during a visit to a local studio.
Stanley Jerome is a character full of ambitions and dreams, and Andrew Thrasher expressed how much he enjoys capturing the essence of this relatable teenager. “Stanley is just trying to figure things out in a world that doesn’t make a lot of sense,” Thrasher explained. “It’s a humorous yet touching portrayal of adolescence, and I can’t wait for everyone to see it!”
Meanwhile, Mary Beth Owen shared her insights about her character, Laurie Morton. “Laurie represents the struggles of young adults trying to find their place,” Owen said. “She’s a dreamer, like many of us, and I think people will really connect with her journey.” Both actors are excited about bringing Neil Simon’s witty writing and relatable characters to the Shreveport audience.
What to Expect from the Show
Brighton Beach Memoirs is a semi-autobiographical play that takes a humorous and poignant look at family dynamics, growing up, and the challenges of adolescence. Set in 1937 in Brighton Beach, New York, it brings to life the Jerome family and their struggles for the American dream amid the backdrop of historical events. With Neil Simon’s trademark style, audiences can expect a mix of humor, warmth, and genuine emotions.
This production not only showcases the talented cast, but also features outstanding behind-the-scenes efforts, including direction, set design, and more – all working together to create a captivating theatre experience.
