Jersey Shore Arts Center Presents Two 10-Minute Plays Online On May 14th

originally published: 05/13/2020

(OCEAN GROVE, NJ) -- The Jersey Shore Arts Center presents two original ten-minute plays performed by Dromio Players on Thursday, May 14th at 7:00pm on the venue's YouTube Channel.  The plays include "The Valor Of My Tongue" and "Wanna Sing The Blues" - both by Sheila Duane.

"The Valor of My Tongue" is a metaplay, written and directed by Sheila Duane, about the day Macbeth meets the woman who will become his undoing, Lady Macbeth. Starring AJ Melnick as General Macbeth and Renee Panagos as Ingen (Lady Macbeth)

"Wanna Sing the Blues" also written and directed by Sheila Duane is the story of a young southern belle, Kitty Greene, who (like most people at one time or another) falls in love with a lothario saxophone player. Kitty seeks the assistance of Papa A, a man who was once the most famous Bluesman in Mississippi. And Papa A teaches her to sing the blues! "Wanna Sing the Blues" also stars AJ Melnick as ‘Papa A’ Cosmo Abraham and Renee Panagos as Miss Kitty Greene.

Both plays are 10 minutes and will be shown live on Facebook with a brief 10 minute Q & A will follow each performance. These performances are available on Jersey Shore Arts Center's Youtube channel for viewing on 5/15.

This performance event is part of Jersey Shore Arts Center's ongoing mission to support local artists and local arts programs to the Jersey Shore Communities and provide access to the arts. To donate and keep shows like this going, please click here
