Congrats to Stacy Swed and the cast of Sure Thing for winning best play and best director of the first ever festival of the RP Players!
There were four great performances, including Sure Thing. The other three, Colorblind, Recognition and Playthings also deserve kudos for their hard work. Best actor went to Leroy Jett (in his first performance ever!) and best actress went to Ruth K. Brown.
I have had the pleasure of directing Ms. Brown in Steel Magnolias, and want to send out my congrats to her. Her performance in Colorblind affected me personally, taking me back to the horror that was Hurricane Katrina. I worked phones for the Red Cross during that time. Mostly what the affected folks wanted to do was talk. Ruth made me remember that.
The competition moves on to the next round. I, for one, intend to see how it all pans out when the best all meet on one stage at the Everett in Middletown.
