A.E.A Theatre DIRECTING CREDITS

• Crazy For You - Director - Sharon Playhouse, Sharon, CN
• Guys and Dolls -  Director - Sharon Playhouse, Sharon CN

Featuring Barry Williams, better known as Greg of The Brady Bunch. Responsibilities included casting, agent negotiations and rehearsal scheduling. Produced as the premiere production at Tri-State Center for the Arts* new home in the Sharon Playhouse, Sharon CN, the show was crucial in terms of fiscal planning and audience expansion. It was the first time Mr. Williams had attempted the role of Sky Masterson and it was a critical and financial success. Non-traditional casting of the gangster BIG JULE (here played by a female actor) without changing one word of the classic script and score gave this production a surprising contemporary twist.
