ARSENIC & ROSES

By Brad McEntire

Directed by Ryan Pointer

Featuring

Jeff Swearingen... Charles

Leslie Patrick... Katherine

Leslie Patrick (Katherine) is making her Audacity debut. She has most recently been seen in the Echo Theatre production of BOY GETS GIRL as Harriet, what a "Treat!". She returned to Dallas theatre in January after a two month stint Off-Broadway in a joint production with Pegasus Theatre and Step Lively Productions called IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE MURDER! Leslie has also been seen in Bucket Productions' "Shakespeare by the Lake" series including MACBETH as Donalbain, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM as Snug the Joiner (Lion), and LOVE'S LABORS LOST as Moth. Her Pegasus Theatre credits include JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH as Tanja and the world premiere of MIS-MATCHED as Sharla as well as six shows in the Black & White series.

Ryan Pointer (Director) is the General Manager of Plano Repertory Theatre. He has just finished directing Frank Langella's CYRANO for PRT. A strapping man with a square jaw and windswept teeth, he stands in splendid proportion: five foot eight inches in height, some of it churning with muscle.

Jeff Swearingen (Charles) is an associate company member at Plano Childrens Theatre where he teaches drama to youngsters. He can currently be seen as the title role in PINNOCHIO there. Mr. Swearingen is also a troupe member of The Mild Dementia Continuous-Play Variety Hour and will be seen next with Audacity this summer at the Festival of Independent Theatres in CLEVELAND by Mac Wellman.

Brad McEntire (Playwright, Producer) is a native-born Texan and the Artistic Director of North Texas based Audacity Productions. Mr. McEntire is an experienced actor, director, and producer as well as a published cartoonist, produced playwright and fledgling filmmaker. His other produced works include RED PAJAMA BLUES (Expanded Arts, NYC and Audacity at the New York International Fringe Festival 2001), THE BEST IS YET TO COME (Audacity), LOST, FOUND & IN-BETWEEN (Audacity at the FronteraFest, Austin, TX), and MORE THAN FRIENDS (MOMFest, Austin, TX).
